In 1936 George Orwell went to Spain with hundreds of other young men and women to defend the Republic from the Fascists. Orwell went as a journalist but, on arrival, he joined the POUM militia. In this account he describes the bleak and comic aspects of trench warfare on the Aragon front, the Barcelona uprising in May 1937, his near fatal wounding just two weeks later, his escape to France after the POUM was suppressed.
