New Books"To Tilt At Windmills; A Memoir of the Spanish Civil War" By Fred Thomas - see advert elsewhere, an excellent read although expensive and unlikely to appear in paperback. "Durruti 1896 -1936" by L. Espejo. Published in 5 countries with a 5 language commentary and text, this is purely a must have book for any SCW enthusiast. It is 190 pages of mainly photos and summary text of Durrutis life and actions, including well-detailed accounts of his military activities. Most of the photos are previously unpublished, and include a front picture of a large armoured vehicle in Durruti's service carefully labelled 'barque duruffi'. There are many pictures of Duruffi's soldiers and their materiel. I am unsure of availability outside of Spain, but the title page shows a multinational (European) interest in the book and cites the London publisher as Active / Beastie.
