Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I had been awake since dawn and had breakfasted lightly, for I was too excited to feel hungry. I had left London that morning, on my way to Spain and the Civil War. I had no idea how to carry out my decision. I knew no Spanish, and I had never been to Spain.

#2 I was going to Spain to fight in the war. My father, a retired Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court, disapproved of many aspects of my life at Cambridge and in London. He gave me a great deal of sound advice and took me on a tour of the Army and Navy Stores to see me get the right equipment for the war.

#3 I was excited to be going to Spain to fight for the Insurgents. I had finished my time at Cambridge and taken my degree, but I hadn’t yet committed myself to a career. This war was a great opportunity for me to go out on my own and learn about modern warfare.

#4 I was excited and nervous about going to war, but I had to admit that the experience was useful. I had nothing to lose. I was deeply moved by the way my parents were taking everything, and by the cheery hospitality of my friends.
