RUST, William. Britons in Spain
RUST, William. Britons in Spain: The History of the British Battalion of the XVth International Brigade. London: Lawrence and Wishart. 1939. Small 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s red cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the attractive dust jacket, the book and jacket blindstamped to centre ‘Left Book Club’. A very good or better copy, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square, the contents evenly toned throughout from paper quality, but otherwise clean. The dust jacket unclipped (two shillings), spine faded, a few minor bumps and tiny nicks to corners and spine head and tail.
An enthralling history of the XVth International Brigade with a specific focus on the British Battalion, officially the Saklatvala Battalion—the American, the Balkan, and the French and Belgian battalions also formed the XVth, which was the final brigade before its total disbandment. Laurie Lee, Tom Wintringham, Ralph Bates, Bill Alexander, and Bert Levy are just some of the Britons involved. With excellent photographic plates to the centre of the text.
