As a matter of family pride, I might mention that my grandfather
(Alvah Bessie) fought in the Spanish Civil War as part of the Abraham
Lincoln Brigade (I think Orwell did as well), and has written several
books on it.  "Men in Battle" is a particularly good one.  I don't
know if they are still in print.  If you want one, I might be able to
get you a copy, though (maybe even an autographed one, if you like).
