About This Item
Mississauga, ON: John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.. Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket. 2007. First Edition. Hardcover. 0470839260 . DJ and boards show light shelf wear, DJ has scuff marks along back spine edge. ; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; 9.1 X 6.1 X 1.0 inches; 303 pages; At the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War on July 17, 1936, forty-two thousand Internationals, comprised of Canadians, Americans, and Spaniards, fought together on the side of the Republicans who were trying to throw back fascist dictator General Franco's troops, which included countless German and Italian soldiers. By October 29, 1938 though, only two thousand Internationals were able to gather for a speech requesting them to withdraw. Despite all their efforts, Spain wanted to continue on its own, hoping the war would become a Spanish affair once again. Drawing on diaries and newly documented sources, Zuehlke offers a compelling account of the Canadian experience in Spain. It was not a popular war for Canada, with even the prime minister praising Hitler for his social and economic advances. Along with allied troops, some 1,500 Canadians joined together in a valiant but doomed cause. .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
