¡Brigadistas! An American Anti-Fascist in the Spanish Civil War

From Depression-scarred Brooklyn streets buzzing with union songs to Spain’s sun-baked battlefronts, ¡Brigadistas! hurls you beside fiery volunteers and veteran Abe Osheroff—determined New Yorkers who refuse to watch fascism march unchallenged. Ignoring Washington’s warnings, they slip across the Atlantic, swear into the legendary Abraham Lincoln Brigade, and plunge into the 1936-1939 Spanish Civil War, turning olive-grove hills into echoing classrooms of Political Justice and Economic Justice. Artist Anne Timmons splashes every panel with cinematic grit, while Miguel Ferguson distills Osheroff’s first-hand memories into rapid-fire dialogue and crackling action: night-time sabotage on Franco’s rail lines, trench skirmishes outside Madrid, and tense debates under tattered Republican flags about how a hungry world can still fight for dignity. As mortar fire foreshadows the global storm of World War II, their unwavering solidarity sparks questions every classroom or faith forum can wrestle with today: How far will ordinary citizens travel to defend the vulnerable? Can shared ideals outmuscle dictatorship’s iron grip? Stand shoulder to shoulder with these bold volunteers, feel every drumbeat of hope, and click “Learn More” to decide whether their courage lights a path for us now.
