content: This book is THEE Spanish Civil War book, as far as I'm concerned. I read it with the hopes of getting an idea of what the Spanish Civil War was about, because it was very confusing to me. But it seems that Orwell wrote the book with the purpose of dispelling the confusion. He simply tells his account, and, through his experiences, I was able to learn about the war. I learned what he did in the war, the group he was part of, the other organizations, and what the outcome was for him.There is more to the story than what I am writing about. But what I wrote is good enough for me to enjoy it.
