Confronting a right-wing coup led by Francisco Franco and heavily aided by Hitler and Mussolini, volunteers flooded in to support Spain's democratic government. Among them were nearly three thousand Americans, called by their convictions to lend a hand in a brutal conflict their government wanted no part of. In \u003ci\u003eSpain in Our Hearts, \u003c\/i\u003e Adam Hochschild weaves together the stories of some dozen foreigners to reveal the full tragedy and importance of the war. Among them are a fiery nineteen-year-old Kentucky woman on her honeymoon whose experience in revolutionary Barcelona became the high point of her life, a pair of rivalrous \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e reporters who covered the fighting from opposite sides, and a widely admired American couple on the war's front lines whose inspiring, heartbreaking love story threads through this account. We still have many lessons to learn from this chapter in history, and \u003ci\u003eSpain in Our Hearts\u003c\/i\u003e is Adam Hochschild at his very best. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"An unusually well-written narrative, full of telling detail and vignettes that capture great human drama.\" -- \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"After reading Hochschild's book, it's impossible to feel anything but admiration -- and awe.\" -- \u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780544947238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.30w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Adam Hochschild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36638512414876,"sku":"9780544947238","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1d2d0743-3bf7-4e5b-9109-94940174273a.jpg?v=1603847469","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/spain-in-our-hearts-americans-in-the-spanish-civil-war-1936-1939-9780544947238","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
