BRITISH BATTALION XV INTERNATIONAL BRIGADE

The book serves as a memorial to the British Battalion XV International Brigade during the Spanish Civil War, featuring a Roll of Honour. Initially viewed unfavorably after the war's conclusion, the brigadistas later gained recognition for their early fight against fascism, positioning them as defenders of democracy. This retrospective acknowledgment highlights the Spanish conflict as a precursor to World War II, emphasizing the significance of their struggle in the broader context of 20th-century history.
