Description
In 1936, George Orwell went to Spain to report on the civil war and instead joined the P.O.U.M.
militia to fight against the Fascists. In this now justly famous account of his experience, he
describes both the bleak and the comic aspects of trench warfare on the Aragon front, the
Barcelona uprising in May 1937, his nearly fatal wounding just two weeks later, and his escape
from Barcelona into France after the P.O.U.M. was suppressed. As important as the story of the
war itself is Orwell's analysis of why the Communist Party sabotaged the workers' revolution and
branded the P.O.U.M. as Trotskyist, which provides an essential key to understanding the
outcome of the war and an ironic sidelight on international Communism. It was during this period in
Spain that Orwell learned for himself the nature of totalitarianism in practice, an education that laid
the groundwork for his great books Animal Farm and 1984.
