‘… the experiences of the child refugees to members of the defeated Republican Army in exile the experiences and motivations of this very brave group of men are told with great detail and sympathy. The context is the strategic and political history of World War Two and its aftermath. This is a military history of the men who having fought in or been exiled after the Spanish Civil War joined the British Army.  Their bravery, camaraderie and in some case their deaths are told with great detail.
