Synopsis
The Spanish Civil War (1936--1939) was a confrontation between supporters of Spain's democratically elected Republic--including peasants, communists, union workers, and anarchists--and an alliance of nationalist Army rebels and upper-class forces, including the Catholic Church and landlords, led by General Francisco Franco. In the political climate of the time, this civil war became the focus of foreign interests advocating conflicting ideas of democracy and fascism. Spain became a training ground where Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy tested military techniques intended for use in a yet to be declared wider world war. Although most Western nations embraced a neutrality pact, individual volunteers from around the world, including the United States, made their way to Spain to support the Republican cause. Among the Americans was Robert Hale Merriman, a scholar who had been studying international economics in Europe. He and his wife, Marion, joined volunteers from fifty-four countries in International Brigades. Merriman became the first commander of the Americans; Abraham Lincoln Battalion and a leader among the International Brigades. Now available in a new paperback edition, American Commander in Spain is based on Merriman and Marion's diaries and personal correspondence, Marion's own service at his side in Spain, as well as Warren Lerude's extensive research and interviews with people who knew Merriman and Marion, government records, and contemporary news reports. This critically acclaimed work is both the biography of a remarkable man who combined his idealism with life-risking action to fight fascism threatening Europe and Marion's vivid first-hand account of life in Spain during the civil war that became a prologue to the Second World War., First released in 1986 to critical acclaim, American Commander in Spain tells the story of a remarkable man, Robert Hale Merriman, who combined his idealism with life-risking action to fight fascism threatening Europe. Although most Western nations embraced a neutrality pact during the Spanish Civil War, individual volunteers from around the world, including the United States, made their way to Spain to support the Republican cause. Robert, a scholar who had been studying international economics, and his wife, Marion, joined volunteers from fifty-four countries in the International Brigades. Robert became the first commander of the Americans' Abraham Lincoln Battalion and a leader among the International Brigades. This extraordinary story is based on Robert's and Marion's diaries and personal correspondence, Marion's vivid first-hand account of service in Spain, as well as Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Warren Lerude's extensive research and interviews with people who knew Robert and Marion, government records, and contemporary news reports. Today, new generations face a resurgence in fascist ideas across the globe, and idealism and dissent are needed just as they were in Spain leading up to World War II. American Commander in Spain salutes the courage of all who fought for freedom then, as well as those who stand for it now in today's dangerously eruptive world. Book jacket., "An important, inspiring, and riveting story of a brave man furiously fighting in every sense for his ideals, it reveals much about memory and loss." -- Katherine Stafford, The Volunteer American Commander in Spain is the inspirational and agonizing story of Robert Hale Merriman commanding idealists fighting for democracy against fascism in the Spanish Civil War and his wife who so adored him she joined with him in the war.
