Helpful Score: 1

I am a history major and must admit that I knew very little about the Spanish Civil War and Franco. This book is a love story of couples caught up in the war and it is very graphic in its explanation of the horrible conditions of that war and the interference by Germany and Russia into that war. There is no glorification of love or war in this book as it follows a few British volunteers. I liked this book a lot, but there is nothing uplifting about it. War is hell....then, now, and always.The main characters are marked for life by their experiences. A good read...Genny
