Abstract "This unique transnational history explores the extraordinary lives of left-wing volunteers who fought in multiple conflicts across the globe during the mid-twentieth century. Heiberg, Acciai and Bjerström argue that the Spanish Civil War set a precedent for war volunteering that shaped global responses to a range of conflicts for decades"-- Provided by publisher.
