内容简介
From the moment it began in 1936, the Spanish Civil War became the political question of the age. Hitler and Mussolini quickly sent aircraft, troops and supplies to the right-wing generals bent on overthrowing Spain's elected government. Millions of people around the world felt passionately that rapidly advancing fascism must be halted in Spain; if not there, where? More than 35,000 volunteers from dozens of other countries went to help defend the Spanish Republic.
Adam Hochschild, the acclaimed author of King Leopold's Ghost, evokes this tumultuous period mainly through the lives of Americans involved in the war. A few are famous, such as Ernest Hemingway, but others are less familiar. They include a nineteen-year-old Kentucky woman, a fiery leftist who came to wartime Spain on her honeymoon; a young man who ran away from his Pennsylvania college and became the first American casualty in the battle for Madrid; and a swashbuckling Texas oilman who covertly violated US law and sold Generalissimo Francisco Franco most of the fuel for his army. Two New York Times reporters, fierce rivals, covered the war from opposite sides, with opposite sympathies. There are Britons in Hochschild's cast of characters as well: one, a London sculptor, fought with the American battalion; another, who had just gone down from Cambridge, joined Franco's army and found himself fighting against the Americans; and a third is someone whose experience of combat in Spain had a profound effect on his life, George Orwell.
从1936年开始,西班牙内战就成为那个时代的政治问题。希特勒和墨索里尼迅速派出飞机,部队和补给给了推翻西班牙当选政府的右翼将军。全世界有数百万人充满激情地感到,必须在西班牙制止迅速发展的法西斯主义。如果不在那里,在哪里?来自其他数十个国家的35,000多名志愿者前往帮助捍卫西班牙共和国。
利奥波德国王的《幽灵》的著名作者亚当·霍奇希尔(Adam Hochschild)唤起了这个动荡的时期,主要是通过参与战争的美国人的生活。其中一些是著名的,例如欧内斯特·海明威(Ernest Hemingway),但其他人则不太熟悉。其中包括一名十九岁的肯塔基州妇女,一个火热的左派,她蜜月来参加战时西班牙。一个年轻人,他逃离了宾夕法尼亚大学,成为争夺马德里的第一批美国伤亡者;一位得克萨斯州得克萨斯州的石油商,他秘密地违反了美国法律,并向他的军队出售了大部份的燃油。两位激烈竞争的《纽约时报》记者以相反的同情报道了这场战争。霍奇希尔德(Hochschild)的角色阵容中也有不列颠人:一个是伦敦雕塑家,曾与美国营作战。另一个,刚从剑桥下来的人加入了佛朗哥的军队,发现自己在与美国人作战;第三个人是在西班牙的战斗经历对他的生活产生了深远影响的乔治·奥威尔。
