Battalion volunteers, and the life of one working class American who offered his life to fight fascism. --Sharon Kahn Rudahl, illustrator of Ballad of an American: The Story of Paul Robeson The boundless courage and abiding heroism of Americans who risked everything to fight against fascism -- illuminated beautifully by Miguel Ferguson & Paul Buhle and artist Anne Timmons in this moving and unforgettable account of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War. --Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick, Co-authors, The Untold History of the United States
