About the Book
2016 was the 80th anniversary of the formation of the International Brigades that fought against General Franco and his fascist army opposing the legitimate democratically elected Republican government of Spain, prior to the outbreak of WW2 in 1939. The authors were invited to join a group of people from different parts of the world who had direct family connections to those who fought and were injured or died fighting fascism in and around some of the battlefields in Andalusia. They visited five of these important sites and held memorial services in their honour. This book is written in both English and Spanish and gives a historical account of the events leading up to the SCW and ultimately to the outbreak of WW2. The book is profusely illustrated and will be of particular interest to those people who came from many parts of Europe and other countries, and most importantly the many Spanish people who attended the ceremonies.

About the Creator
Gavin Fox
Scotland
I was born near Halifax in Yorkshire and grew up in the small village of Sowerby high on the Pennine hills. I received my first bicycle as a birthday present when I was thirteen years old. It led me to want to explore the world around me and then to extend my adventures during the rest of my life to traveling in all its forms. I took up sailing and mountain walking and emigrated to new Zealand and then to Australia for twenty years. I returned to live on the Isle of Skye where I ran a B&B business and now live in Galloway by the sea in beautiful South West Scotland.
