[Timothy McNeil · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an incomplete coverage of Franco (the man) and the Spanish Civil War with more love for the International Brigades than my other reading suggest is appropriate). Essentially, it feels like what would be germane to a middle school report on the Franco. Aside from throwing "inchoate" at the reader very early on, there is nothing in the vocabulary to stymie the younger (intended) audience.
