This book collects for the first time a compendium of poems written in English by brigadists, sanitary personnel and journalists thatparticipated or were involved in the Spanish Civil War, as well as byintellectuals, writers and journalists that supported the republicancause from the outside. The anthology starts from a previoushistorical framework in which this poetic legacy has beencontextualized, to know where, when, how and why these poems werewritten, and who wrote them or who were their protagonists. All theseanalyses have served to understand the causes of why this poeticlegacy has been denied and has not received the recognition itdeserves today.
