But Adam Hochschild has discovered some less familiar yet far more compelling characters who reveal the full tragedy and importance of the war: a fiery nineteen-year-old Kentucky woman who went to wartime Spain on her honeymoon, a Swarthmore College senior who was the first American casualty in the battle for Madrid, a pair of fiercely partisan, rivalrous \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e reporters who covered the war from opposite sides, and a swashbuckling Texas oilman with Nazi sympathies who sold Franco almost all his oil—at reduced prices, and on credit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was in many ways the opening battle of World War II, and we still have much to learn from it. \u003cem\u003eSpain in Our Hearts\u003c\/em\u003e is Adam Hochschild at his very best. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“With all due respect to Orwell, \u003cem\u003eSpain in Our Hearts\u003c\/em\u003e should supplant \u003cem\u003eHomage to Catalonia\u003c\/em\u003e as the best introduction to the conflict written in English.
