NO OTHER WAY: OXFORDSHIRE AND THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR 1936-39
By Chris Farman, Valery Rose and Liz Woolley; with a foreword by Professor Tom Buchanan
£5 (plus £3 p&p)
‘No Other Way’ tells the untold story of the more than 30 men and women
of Oxfordshire who travelled to Spain during the Spanish Civil War. Most
joined the legendary International Brigades. Six of them were killed while
fighting to defend the Spanish Republic against a fascist-backed military
uprising in a war that was a prelude the Second World War. The authors
also describe the considerable impact of the war on Oxford – both town
and gown – and on the rest of the county.
