in the summer of 1936, Generalissimo Francisco Franco led a group of right-wing nationalists
in a military attack on the Republican government of Spain—the start of what would become
the Spanish Civil War. Despite U.S. laws banning participation in foreign conflicts, American
volunteers began pouring into Barcelona in January 1937. The most famous of these anti-Franco
groups was the band of 2,800 American fighters who called themselves the Abraham Lincoln
Battalion. In Comrades and Commissars, Cecil D. Eby pushes beyond the bias that has dominated
study of the Lincoln Battalion and gets to the very heart of the American experience in Spain.
Controversy has plagued the Lincoln Battalion from the very start. Were these men selfless de-
fenders of liberty or un-American Communists? Eby has long been regarded as one of the few
balanced interpreters of their history. His 1969 book, Between the Bullet and the Lie, won accolades
for its rigorous and fair treatment of the Battalion. Comrades and Commissars builds upon that
earlier study, incorporating a wealth of information collected over intervening decades. New oral
histories, previously untranslated memoirs, and newly declassified official documents all lend
even greater authority and perspective to Eby’s account. Most significant is Eby s use of Lincoln
Battalion archives sequestered in a Moscow storeroom for sixty years. These papers draw re-
newed focus on some of the most provocative questions surrounding the Battalion, including the
extent to which Americans were persecuted—and even executed—by the brigade commissariat.
The Americans who served in the Lincoln Battalion were neither mythic figures nor political ab-
stractions. Poorly trained and equipped, they committed themselves to back-to-the-wall defense
of the doomed Spanish Republic. In Comrades and Commissars, we at last have the authoritative
account of their experiences.
