ITEM OVERVIEW
In 1936, John Langdon-Davies went to Spain to report on the May Day celebrations for the News Chronicle. By the time he returned in August, civil war was raging, and many of those he had seen celebrating lay dead. On this second trip he crossed Spain on his motorbike with his teenage son and described what he saw and heard in this book, which he wrote in just five weeks and was published to critical acclaim in 1937.
John Langdon-Davies (1897–1971) was a journalist, war correspondent and author of more than forty books including Dancing Catalans and Air Raid. This book stars an introduction by Professor Paul Preston, who is the Principe de Asturias Professor of Contemporary Spanish Studies and Director of the Canada Blanche Centre for Contemporary Spanish Studies at the London School of Economics. He is author of The Spanish Civil War (which is great and we carry) and wrote a preface for our Anarchism and the City by Chris Ealham.
