New York, New York, U.S.A. Villard Books 1986 0394539370 / 9780394539379 First Edition Hardcover Very Good Very Good
1986. First Edition Second Printing -------Keywords: SPAIN FICTION SPANISH CIVIL WAR 1936 HISTORICAL FICTION ---Excerpt from dust jacket flap: "Madrid, November 1936. A harsh little war, much romanticized, much misunderstood. A ragtag flotsam in boots fight for their lives, spilling their blood against a fascist military machine. Franco struts, Mussolini boasts, Hitler and Stalin hover in the wings. The world will never be the same. ---- On the American side of the Atlantic, young men and women prepare to give their lives for a foreign cause, a "good war." At the same time, American business and religious interests collude on the side of Franco, while the U.S. government plays a game of "neutrality." ---- At the heart of this brilliant, shocking novel is a young American war correspondent, festooned with cameras. She's in love with one man and, as bullets fly, befriended by another. Mary Byrnes, Nick Cordon, Liam Casey-they are comrades sharing a passage through the fires of war. Witness to battered cities and fallen heroes, they know the tragedy and glory of death for a cause: the landscape of war. The lovers whisper secrets as bombs fall, walls crumble, men and women die. All the wealth of Spain-nine hundred million in gold-is stored in the caves of Carte gena, but it is rumored that the loot is bound for Russia in ships. ---- Mary's lightning camera records it all as the war screams to a halt amid cries of "Long live the revolution!" and in a stunning climax, this explosive novel ends. ----- Not since Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls has a novel so captured the firsthand, passionate sense of what it was like to be there in the midst of Spain's chaotic battle for existence." ------ Very good condition hardcover... ... ..
