Review of Salud y Shalom: Conversations with Jewish Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade by Joseph Butwin
Joseph Butwin’s Salud y Shalom is a long-awaited exploration of the motivations that brought hundreds of Jewish American volunteers to Spain in the late 1930s to fight in the country’s nominally civil war. Through detailed conversations with ten veterans, Butwin elicits fascinating reflections on their experiences and era.
