El English Captain de Thomas Wintringham (1939). Memoria y olvido de un Brigadista Británico

Abstract

Thomas Wintringham became the commanding officer of the British Battalion in the International Brigades during the Battle of Jarama; he wrote a book about his experiences in the Spanish Civil War which is more than memories are usual because it offers original points of view about it and a real image of his complex personality. His very hectic life was affected by this experience such as his left-wing political belief —from dogmatic communism to Labour Party—. His Spanish adventures marked him for ever and this event and this book turned him into one of the most important British military intellectuals.
