A great book that should be read more widely today. Sheean captures these cataclysmic events in history, bringing them to life and to the doorstep for readers in 1939, and brings them back to life for readers in the 21st century. The Spanish Civil war, a fight against fascism; the cruel betrayal of the then Czechoslovakia. A powerful tale of in one sense heroism, the other sheer cowardice and infamy. I have a first edition from 1939. I wonder if it’s original reader was shaken and awakened to what these “far off events” would one day hold for the New World?
