Resumen
Talking today about the Spanish Civil War is certainly a complicated undertaking when there are practically no direct witnesses to it who can provide us with personal experiences. If we add to that that it is about telling the adventures (and misadventures) of some people who have come from far away from Spain, specifically from the United Kingdom and who joined both sides, it makes the work much more complicated. Despite the Spanish Civil War, it has a splendid bibliography that allows you to consult and meet the main actors. It is also possible to investigate in the historical archives such as the Instituto de Historia y Cultura Militar, in one of its sections, such as the Archivo Central Militar de Madrid or the Archivo de la Guerra Civil of Avila. We also have the Archivo Histórico Nacional of Spain, the archives of the foundations of political parties such as the Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) and the Partido Comunista de España (PCE) as well as the Biblioteca Nacional de España and the main newspaper archives of information. With all this we can try to reconstruct the puzzle of the British intervention in the Spanish Civil War, and we are going to put all our efforts into this.
