Summary

"The book is a collection of photos and a memoir by Alec Wainman when he was a volunteer in Civil War Spain with the British Medical Unit (BMU). The memoir gives a detailed account of the war, and the photos show both the volunteers at work and the Republican people who participated or were simply there as witnesses. Serge Alternês has supplied an introduction, a timeline of the war, an afterword, and captions for the photos."--, Provided by publisher
