An American Ambulance Driver in the Spanish Civil War (The New Press)
by James Neugass
A beautiful, never-before-published memoir from the trenches of the Spanish Civil War, by an award-winning poet and novelist.
"Starred Review. Elegant prose, brutal description, and a wry sense of humor characterize this journal by a poet and aspiring fiction writer during his months as a Spanish civil war volunteer in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade." - Library Journal Editor's Pick.
