The Spanish Civil War, 1936-39 was a pivotal moment in the 20th century history of revolutionary hope, failure and betrayal. It is also the story of fascism’s rise and ultimately the beginning of World War II. Andy Durgan, author of a newly translated book on the Party of Marxist Unification (POUM), will outline the development of this distinctive revolutionary movement and the role it played in the Spanish revolution.

La milicia internacional del POUM en la Guerra Civil española (2022). He was historical advisor on Ken Loach’s award-winning film, Land and Freedom (1995).
