Translated by Paul Sharkey

For readers interested in the Spanish Civil War, Guillamón is known as the contemporary expert, as well as someone who overturns the assumptions and historiographic mistakes of his colleagues. This book is further testament to that reputation.

The lessons he draws from the revolutionary situation in Spain are instructive for activists today, especially regarding the relationship insurgents should, or shouldn't, forge with politicians and state forces.
