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.
"A complement to the memoirs of George Orwell and Ernest Hemingway, as well as Javier Cercas's novel Soldiers of Salamis (2004)—not quite in their league, but not far from it." - Kirkus Reviews.
