They guide readers and tourists to six battlefields of the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War between the republican government of Spain and the fascist Nationalists supported by Italy and Germany in the run up to World War II. He reviews the war and the the role of the International Brigades before discussing such topics as war sites in Madrid City center, the massacre at the Montana Barracks, the Battle of Jarama: General Franco's plan C, Hemingway's war, and the Battle of Brunete.
