  • Thanks for putting this up!

  • Soon after the Loyalist cause was lost, and Franco installed, the Governments of UK and USA readily recognized his dictatorship until his death of natural causes in the 1970s.

  • Unheralded and ignored by history, they have mostly all quietly died off. There were communist peasants, among many many others, fighting alongside of them for the loyalist cause and for this reason, these Americans were labeled communists as well. However, as Churchill appropriately stated in WWII, "I would enlist the devil himself as an ally in the fight for the survival of my country." And so would any patriot.

  • Archibald MacLeish (Poet, Hemingway's friend, combatant-journalist covering the Spanish Civil War,): "I wrote a piece in the Nation to the same effect, stating my own position that in a good cause, and the Spanish Civil War was a good cause, I didn't give a goddamn whom I was working with. The question was whether you could do anything about the Loyalist cause itself. I wish I'd used Churchill's phrase about welcoming the devil himself as an ally in a righteous cause to defeat your enemy."
