Book Synopsis Facing Fascism by : Peter N. Carroll
Book excerpt: Facing Fascism: New York and the Spanish Civil War provides a window into New York during the 1930s - a city in ferment, writing from the economic pains inflicted by the Depression, but redolent with idealism born from the hope of a better tomorrow - in an effort to better understand the era's broad-based activism. This collection of original essays examines the political discourse and conflict that gripped New York during the war and provides portraits of ordinary men and women who, following their own beliefs and consciences, did extraordinary things.
