For Whom the Bell Tolls

Hemingway? more like Hemingay

>>18211806
homage to catalonia

>>18211918
cope harder

any novels about spanish civil war where communists are depicted as bad guys as they should be?

>>18211918
based, hemingway is fun to read but by god he was retarded.

>>18212074
Fidel Castro? More like Fagel Gaystro.

what was it with all those naive baizuos being obsessed with the spanish republic and volunteering only to be btfo? Why did all these "intellectuals" get caught up in the retardation

>>18211819

>>18211918
Hemingway was a filthy communist. What about books from the perspective of the good guys?

>>18212114
>>18212544
I guess it cannot get better than Raza by Jaime de Andrade (pseudonym of the Generalisimo himself)

>>18212544
btw Payne's biography of Franco is good

>>18212074
Nice font

>>18211806

Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell

>>18211806

>>18212074
Imagine defending batista

Similar question: any good novels about civil war in Russia from Whites point of view?

>>18214258
This is such a good book.

>>18215510
he sided with commies tho

>>18211806
For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Have not read it, but since everyone suggested the same book i thought i would leave something different. Anyone have experience with it?

>>18214041
>buy this

>>18211806
Daily reminder that just because you fought against Franco doesn’t make you a communist. God damn you retards genuinely think in 2 dimensions

>>18215746
Next you're going to say the Allies were the good guys

>>18215746
either a communist or a communist stooge

>>18215781
Not good but better than anyone else. King of the garbage pile basically
>>18215791
Yes I’m sure George Orwell of animal farm fame fought for the commies. Moron

>>18212544
>(((good guys)))

>>18212191
based

>>18215746
>fighting on the side of literal communists doesn't make you a communist

Man I wish the Spanish civil war happened when I was alive.

>>18215583

Being the winners doesn't necessarily make the fascists the good guys. In Vietnam the communists won and Vietnam is fine today.

>>18215812
>this is the best possible future that could have sprung from ww2
I cannot fathom the pessimism necessary for this view

>>18215901
The fact that they won has nothing to do with the fact that they were the morally superior side and nobody you replied to implied anything of the sort.

>>18211806
>>18212114
Mine were of trouble (Peter Kemp, nationalist volunteer). Would recommend.

>>18211819
>>18211915
>>18211918
Hemingway is dumb

>>18211963
Homage to Catalonia (Orwell) is based. Would recommend.

>>18216040
Homage to Catalonia is a good read but it isn't a novel. More autobiography with an explanation of the party politics involved on the Republic side.

>>18216070
There is a good story in Homage to Catalonia. He has to escape from the secret police, he is robbed, shot in the throat and has a good intro in Barcelona.

He does cover the infighting on the Republican side well, Antony Beevor even highlights Orwell during the infighting.

op here, thanks for recommendations anons
I went with Orwell and Kemp for now

stanley payne is enjoyable author even if you don't care about history
unlike most other authors of spanish civil war history

>>18215901
>. In Vietnam the communists won and Vietnam is fine today.
Because they're about as communist as china

Can somebody who isn't a complete douche publish this?
