Homage to Catalonia

One sentence synopsis... Orwell's eyewitness account of the Spanish civil war is an invaluable piece of his personal experience but fails to provide broad, reliable analysis of the complicated politics informing the war. .

Read it if you like... “For Whom the Bell Tolls” or “Slaughterhouse-Five”. .

Further reading... “Capital” and other political writings help to better understand the ideologies that divided Spain so deeply.
