Fanny Schoonheyt (1912-1961) is de enige Nederlandse vrouw die in de Spaanse Burgeroorlog heeft gevochten. Ze verwierf er in korte tijd faam als ‘het dapperste meisje van Barcelona’ en ‘de koningin van de mitrailleur’. Een opvallende keuze voor een meisje dat ervan droomde journaliste te worden en om die reden naar Spanje was gegaan. Ze had een paar jaar gewerkt op de redactie van de Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant, met onder meer Victor van Vriesland en mr. J. Huyts, volgens het journalistieke roddelcircuit een Russische spion. In Spanje krijgt Fanny een hoge functie in het leger en komt zo in contact met de latere moordenaar van Trotski. In 1938 wordt ze op geheime missie naar Parijs gestuurd, waar ze ook een pilotenopleiding volgt. De nederlaag van de Spaanse Republiek brengt haar als vluchtelinge naar de Dominicaanse Republiek en Curaçao. Daar bouwt ze een bestaan op als fotografe Fanny Lopez en verzwijgt ze haar verleden: zelfs haar dochter wist niets van haar bijzondere krijgsverrichtingen.

Jewish Volunteers, the International Brigades and the Spanish Civil War discusses the participation of volunteers of Jewish descent in the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War, focusing particularly on the establishment of the Naftali Botwin Company, a Jewish military unit that was created in the Polish Dombrowski Brigade. Gerben Zaagsma analyses the symbolic meaning of the participation of Jewish volunteers and the Botwin Company both during and after the civil war. He puts this participation in the broader context of Jewish involvement in the left and Jewish/non-Jewish relations in the communist movement and beyond. To this end, the book examines representations of Jewish volunteers in the Parisian Yiddish press (both communist and non-communist). In addition, it analyses the various ways in which Jewish volunteers and the Botwin Company have been commemorated after WWII, tracing how discourses about Jewish volunteers became decisively shaped by post-Holocaust debates on Jewish responses to fascism and Nazism, and discusses claims that Jewish volunteers can be seen as 'the first Jews to resist Hitler with arms'.

The Spanish Civil War: A Military History takes a new, military approach to the conflict that tore Spain apart from 1936 to 1939. In many histories, the war has been treated as a primarily political event with the military narrative subsumed into a much broader picture of the Spain of 1936–9 in which the chief themes are revolution and counter-revolution. While remaining conscious of the politics of the struggle, this book looks at the war as above all a military event, and as one in whose outbreak specifically military issues – particularly the split in the armed forces produced by the long struggle in Morocco (1909–27) – were fundamental. Across nine chapters that consider the war from beginning to endgame, Charles J. Esdaile revisits traditional themes from a new perspective, deconstructs many epics and puts received ideas to the test, as well as introducing readers to foreign-language historiography that has previously been largely inaccessible to an anglophone audience. In taking this new approach, The Spanish Civil War: A Military History is essential reading for all students of twentieth-century Spain.

** Shortlisted for the Military History Matters Book of the Year Award ** 'Magnificent. Narrative history at its vivid and compelling best' Fergal Keane The first major history of the International Brigades: a tale of blood, ideals and tragedy in the fight against fascism. The Spanish Civil War was the first armed battle in the fight against fascism, and a rallying cry for a generation. Over 35,000 volunteers from sixty-one countries around the world came to defend democracy against the troops of Franco, Hitler and Mussolini. Ill-equipped and disorderly, yet fuelled by a shared sense of purpose and potential glory, these disparate groups of idealistic young men and women formed a volunteer army of a size and type unseen since the Crusades, known as the International Brigades. Were they heroes or fools? Saints or bloodthirsty adventurers? And what exactly did they achieve? In this magisterial history, Giles Tremlett tells – for the first time – the story of the Spanish Civil War through the experiences of this remarkable group. Drawing on the Brigades' archives in Moscow, as well as first-hand accounts, The International Brigades captures all the human drama of a historic mission to halt fascist expansion in Europe.

Artystki, pisarki, naukowczynie, polityczki, psycholożki, filozofki, a nawet jedna morderczyni – wyjątkowe kobiety, które wpłynęły na losy świata. Historia pełna jest kobiet, które zostały zepchnięte do ról żon sławnych mężów, ich muz, asystentek, opiekunek. Z ich dokonań świat czerpał i czerpie garściami. Awanturnice i działaczki walczące o prawa mniejszości, dzielne, dumne i utalentowane. Niezwykłe! Zmarginalizowane, wyklęte albo zapomniane w patriarchalnej rzeczywistości. Autorki tego swoistego kalendarium postanowiły przywrócić równowagę w opowieści o przeszłości i dać głos kobietom, tym dobrym i tym złym, szlachetnym i kierującym się mniej idealistycznymi pobudkami, wszystkim, których nie uwzględniono w podręcznikach historii lub o których opowiedziano za mało – od Beyoncé po Dorię Shafik, od Marii Kaczyńskiej po Lillian Biloccę. Pamiętając o nich, mamy szansę uzyskać wiarygodny obraz ludzkiej egzystencji. Czas przywrócić kobiety na karty historii, dzień po dniu. Projekt @OnThisDayShepowstał, gdy Ailsa Holland dostała kalendarz ważnych wydarzeń z historii świata pod tytułem On this day – i doprowadziło ją do szału, że ledwie wspomniano w nim o kobietach. Kiedy dała upust swojej wściekłości przed przyjaciółkami Jo Bell i Tanią Hershman, podzieliły one jej gniew i wszystkie trzy postanowiły, że coś trzeba z tym zrobić. Przez lata publikowały na Twitterze jeden wpis dziennie. Przedstawiały kobiety z całego świata, żyjące w różnych epokach i działające w różnych obszarach. Poświęcony każdej bohaterce tweet pojawiał się w ważny dla niej dzień: pod datą, kiedy zgłosiła patent, wygrała w wyborach, zdobyła złoty medal w którejś z dyscyplin sportowych, została skazana za ohydną zbrodnię... Wpisy autorek regularnie spotykały się z podobnymi reakcjami: „Czemu o niej nie słyszałam?” czy „Ktoś powinien napisać o niej książkę albo sztukę, a nawet nakręcić film!”.

La bibliografía sobre la Guerra Civil no ha cesado de aumentar, ni dentro ni fuera de España. Esta tendencia se observa desde hace varios años y nada hace pensar que vaya a disminuir en los próximos. En 2016 el número de publicaciones se habrá incrementado, pues no en vano se cumple el octogésimo aniversario del comienzo del conflicto. Los años entre 2016 y 2019 se perfilan como un período en el que los interesados en lo que parece ser un tema inagotable centrarán una parte sustancial de sus investigaciones. Y esto con independencia de que el mercado no siempre se muestre tan acogedor como antes de la larga crisis económica que sufre, entre otros países, España. Este libro no trata de hacer un inventario más o menos completo de todo lo editado sobre la Guerra Civil, eso hubiera sido una tarea quimérica. Es imposible que transcurra una semana sin que se publique algún libro y no es infrecuente que aparezcan varios. Se trata de ofrecer a los lectores una orientación valorativa. Los autores han tenido total libertad para seleccionar aquellos títulos que han querido comentar y para descartar los que no les han parecido tan interesantes o que, por cualesquiera otras razones, no han deseado incluir. Hay títulos que, siendo susceptibles de enfoques varios, aparecen no en uno sino en varios artículos. No lo hemos impedido, y sí alentado, porque implícitamente con ello ofrecemos al lector dos o más formas de enfocar un mismo libro.
