    About this ebook

    The Lisbon Correspondent, Valladolid Station, and Barcelona Passage are stories set during the early days of the Spanish Civil War in the summer of 1936.

    The Lisbon Correspondent follows reporter Robert Cassidy as he travels over the Portuguese border to Spain as fighting erupts between nationalist troops who have begun a coup and supporters of the left wing republican government. What he finds in his travels shatters his soul and endangers his life.

    Valladolid Station is the story of Alejandro Serrano, a railway union official who must rally his supporters and defend the railway line to Madrid from nationalist troops and their fascist supporters. By the end of the day he meets an unexpected foe.

    Barcelona Passage tells the story of amateur athletes who are political activists and trade union members who travel to Barcelona as participants in the Olympiad Popular, the alternative Olympics to the Nazi sponsored one in Germany. It is the days before the nationalist rising and members of the American team as well as others find themselves in the middle of a rising storm of revolution and chaos.
