Cockburn in Spain

Sinopse

The Spanish Civil War was covered by some of the finest journalists of the time: Cockburn in Spain is the work —passionate, committed and from the front-line— of one of the them. Cockburn's despatches from Spain cover all the most important aspect of the war —the International Brigade's first battles, the fighting on the southern front and the POUM rising in Barcelona, as well as exposures of the extent of German and Italian involvement in the war. Also included here are articles on Spain from his famous paper The Week, pieces on diplomatic aspects of the war written after he left the country, and extracts from the short, often caustic, book he wrote at the time, Reporter in Spain.
