I think its pretty good. Not too long and coherent. The Battle for Spain (2006) is a good narrative of the war overall.C-Mag wrote: Fri Apr 17, 2020 11:21 pm Unexpected promotion by Trump
Book description
Mine Were of Trouble: A Nationalist Account of the Spanish Civil War
Written by Peter Kemp, one of these rare volunteers for the Nationalists was Peter Kemp, a young British law student. Kemp, despite having little training or command of the Spanish language, was moved by the Nationalist struggle against international Communism. Using forged documents, he sneaked into Spain and joined a traditionalist militia, the Requetés, with which he saw intense fighting. Later, he volunteered to join the legendary and ruthless Spanish Foreign Legion, where he distinguished himself with heroism. Because of this bravery, he was one of the few foreign volunteers granted an private audience with Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
Kemp published his story in 1957, one of the only English accounts of the war from the Nationalist perspective
I ordered the book earlier in the week. I let you know what I think of it.

There is basically nothing on Portugal in English about Salazar except a crazy expensive biography. He was successful in many regards. Anyhow, this book is tangentially related to the ideological war that was the 1930s decade.

I mean, I’m pretty confident that it removes many of the worst aspects of cotton-slave labor. Perhaps they were better off before?Xenophon wrote: Mon Apr 27, 2020 8:59 amMaybe SF thinks the cotton gin auto-picked the cotton.Speaker to Animals wrote: Sun Apr 26, 2020 11:42 amThe cotton gin only made slavery worse.SuburbanFarmer wrote: Tue Apr 21, 2020 4:13 pm
