New York, N.Y. Pinnacle Books, Inc., 1977. First Printing, May 1977. Mass market paperback. xxx, 322 pages. Illustrations. Maps. Chronology. Cover worn and soiled. Some edge soiling. Red stamp on bottom edge. Includes Preface, A Note, and Introduction, as well as chapters on The Retreat, Training Ground, and The Offensive, as well as Postscript; Postscript 1976; and Chronology of the Spanish Civil War. This book has been called the best descriptive narrative of the Spanish Civil War. Vivid and honest, it conveys the chaos and cruelty of war. One of the sharpest and grimmest portraits of men in English in any war, Alvah Bessie's description of the men and the battles are superb. Alvah Cecil Bessie (June 4, 1904 – July 21, 1985) was an American novelist, journalist and screenwriter who was blacklisted by the movie studios for being one of the Hollywood Ten who refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. During the 1930s, Bessie became alarmed at the rise of fascism, and began working for the anti-fascist cause. Through 1938 Bessie fought as a volunteer in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade of the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War. Upon his return, he wrote a book about his experiences, Men in Battle. About the book, Ernest Hemingway commented: A true, honest, fine book. Bessie writes truly and finely of all that he could see ... and he saw enough. Bessie then worked as the film reviewer for the left-wing magazine The New Masses. Bessie wrote screenplays for Warner Bros., and other studios during the mid and late 1940s. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Story for the patriotic Warner's film Objective Burma (1945). More

Dennis Bloodworth (b. 24 May 1919, London, England–d. 14 June 2005, Singapore) was a veteran journalist and writer who wrote extensively on the political developments in Southeast Asia and China. Bloodworth served in World War II, and rose through the ranks of the Intelligence Corps to become a captain. Bloodworth joined The Observer in 1949 and was duly posted to Paris where he assisted “the Chief Correspondent”.5 In 1954, he was posted to Saigon where he covered events in Indochina. Two years later, he moved to Singapore as The Observer’s chief Far East correspondent – a position he held until 1981. During his time in Singapore, Bloodworth covered regional developments, which included the civil war in Indonesia, the communist insurrection in Malaya, as well as political developments in China and Indochina. Besides journalistic writing, Bloodworth also penned fiction and non-fiction works inspired by Asia. He was the first British journalist allowed to visit communist China in 1955. His first literary work, Chinese Looking Glass, was published in 1967, after extensive travel and study of China’s language and culture. The book used the Chinese past to shed light on the Communist present and it became a best-seller in the West. It was even reported that US President Richard Nixon brought this book with him when he visited China in 1972. An Eye for the Dragon: Southeast Asia Observed, 1954–1986 was published in 1987, and it documented his observations of Southeast Asia. More
