Anyone got some good pics taken during the Spanish Civil war other than the iconic one of the soldier falling after being shot. ? Particularly if they are about the Mac-Pap Brigade. I'm currently re-reading Hemingway's "For Whom The Bell Tolls" after watching it on TV recently.

Like Rhett Butler in "Gone With The Wind", I tend to like lost causes, especially after they are totally lost. The Spanish Civil War was a classic FUBAR, a veritable cluster f_uck of the highest order.

"Robert Jordan", the main character, an American volunteer fought for the Republic with a band of communist guerillas. He chose the communists as they had the best discipline and organization, not because he was a socialist.
 
Go to Amazon books. The Spanish Civil War has a large following
in the last few years. It took many years for people to feel safe talking
about it. The old books from the late 30s and 40s are being researched
and turned into new books. Many people were killed after the war ended.
 
And here's a good film about the conflict, and the infighting amongst the Communist & Anarchist brigades by British director Ken Loach, 1995. "Land and Freedom"
