The Spanish Civil War has been seen by many as the precursor to the Second World War in its confrontation of fascism and democracy. While the British government pursued a policy of non-intervention, around two thousand volunteers from Britain and Ireland fought the Republican cause against Franco with the International Brigade. This volume, the official publication of the International Brigade Association to mark the sixtieth anniversary of the outbreak of the war, presents a visual record of the many memorials erected throughout Britain and Ireland as tributes to those who died in the struggle. Cast in bronze, sculptured in stone, carved in wood and engraved in steel and glass, the memorials vary in size and character, from massive sculpture in city centres to a simple plaque in a town council chamber. From the ceramic plaque in Stoke-on-Trent to the cut-glass memorial from Waterford, the emblems brought together here are a tribute to all the men and women who volunteered to fight for freedom in Spain. Unique photographs of the war and an informative text tell the stories of those commemorated, and a roll of honour lists the names of the five hundred and twenty-six men and women who died.
Review:
"'Memorials of the Spanish Civil War' enables us to map the commitment of the Left to the embattled Republic. It is not a history of the 2,000 volunteers who joined the British Battalion of the International Brigades, organized by Comintern to fight in Spain, 526 of whom died there. But by describing the plaques and memorials erected in homage to the volunteers, it gives a picture of the geographical distribution, the social and political composition of active support for the Republic."
