"!Brigadistas! offers a stunning presentation of the struggles of
ordinary blue collar American youngsters in the American Lincoln
Battalion joining with an international crew of volunteers to stop
fascism before it could spread beyond Germany and Italy. Young
readers especially will appreciate the combination of clear
narrative and the brilliant art of Anne Timmons."--Daniel Czitrom,
Ford Foundation History Professor at Mt. Holyoke College, and Chair
Emeritus of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives An excellent idea
-- one of the most dramatic social conflicts of the twentieth
century conveyed in compelling graphic form. At marches and
demonstrations, the old guys always captured our attention: Hey
it's the Lincoln Brigade. And here we have the story of these
premature anti-fascists who started the long struggle to defend
democracy a little early in Spain.
--James Barrett, famed historian of labor and the Left, Professor
Emeritus of History and African American Studies at the University
of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Anne Timmons has wonderfully captured
the drama and tragedy of the Spanish Civil War, the heroism of the
Lincoln. Battalion volunteers, and the life of one working class
American who offered his life to fight fascism.
--Sharon Kahn Rudahl, illustrator of Ballad of an American: The
Story of Paul Robeson The boundless courage and abiding heroism of
Americans who risked everything to fight against fascism --
illuminated beautifully by Miguel Ferguson & Paul Buhle and artist
Anne Timmons in this moving and unforgettable account of the
Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War.
