Why people recommend it
The Odyssey of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade by Peter N. Carroll is a historical account of the American volunteers who fought against fascism in the Spanish Civil War. James Stout discussed the book on Behind the Bastards in the episode It Could Happen Here Weekly 33, which aired on May 7, 2022. Stout referenced Carroll's work while discussing the historical reality of the battalion, clarifying that it was organized as a battalion rather than a brigade. He pointed readers to the book as a valuable resource for understanding the motivations, experiences, and political dynamics surrounding the volunteers who traveled to Spain. The text explores the complexities of the conflict, including the internal political struggles and the influence of authoritarian communist control within the international ranks. Stout's recommendation emphasizes the book's utility in shedding light on a pivotal moment of twentieth-century antifascist resistance and the often complicated political realities faced by those who took up arms in defense of the Spanish Republic.
