Product Description
Review
A pioneering investigation of those foreign correspondents who did so much to influence world opinion at the time ... Preston sweeps the reader along with the lucidity of his prose, his passionate commitment to the subject, and, above all, his concern to rescue the reputations of those unjustly neglected and courageous figures who worked alongside far more famous names such as Hemingway, Dos Passos, Kim Philby and Martha Gellhorn. --Literary Review<br /><br />What marks out his work is not just an understanding of the period ... but also an ability to choose an angle from which to make old history seem new. --The Herald<br /><br />Paul Preston has become a hugely influential historian of the Spanish Civil War, not only for his scholarship, but for his eye for detail and skill as a storyteller. In We Saw Spain Die these talents come to the fore, aided not only by the richness of the material, but also Preston s deep enthusiasm for his subject. --Jason Webster, New Statesman<br /><br />A work of impressive scholarship. Preston has trawled archives, diaries and personal papers to amass an understanding of his subjects. The result is a series of richly layered pen pictures, which give us an intimate understanding of the men and women who became the first historians of the Spanish Civil War. --BBC History Magazine<br /><br />Excellent … a splendid monument to scholarship. Always absorbing, frequently moving … it fills a crucial gap in the historiography of the Spanish civil war --The Sunday Times<br /><br />A work of impressive scholarship.

I cannot commend it enough. The story of those who fought to tell the story, at risk to their own lives and against the natural grain of their readers, is a cracker of a subject. [Preston] unpicks the tangles of lies, allegations and half-truths; revives reputations that have unjustly faded; and presents us with an overview that is lucid, unhurried and fresh to read. --Daily Telegraph
