i'm in the middle of this book.
it's good and quite interesting to see in what way he was involved in the spanish civil war. however i think i will stop reading it since it has already satisfied what i wanted to know. i was mainly interested in it to get a better understanding of the war, especially the anarchists' side of things. i already read some things on that before starting this book

Just read this. What are some other books that can help me gain a more comprehensive understanding of the Spanish Civil War and the events that led up to it?

I am reading this and I am starting to side with the "Fascists"

>They aren't actual fascists, more like reactionaries
>They fight with less food and equipment than the anarchist militias
>The Communists are split into various factions which bicker with each other and are authoritarian
>Orwell expressly states that in any war between a worker and his natural enemy the policeman he will side with the worker

Are there any books from the other side of the Spanish war? I've read FWtBT by Hemingway and it presented a similar picture.

Homage to Catalonia is very overlooked, but it's on par with Storm of Steel when it comes to on the ground war memoir.

Those trench and siege chapters man, I get chills every time I read them.
