Anarchism against Francoism

The Kate Sharpley Library are pleased to announce our latest publication:
Anarchist International Action Against Francoism From Genoa 1949 to The First Of May Group by Antonio Téllez Solà, translated by Paul Sharkey

From the end of the Spanish Civil War, the anarchist movement fought to undermine the Francoist dictatorship. Solidarity actions in Western Europe aimed to isolate the regime, and bring pressure to bear in defence of militants inside Spain. Determined to avoid casualties, their campaign of armed protests saved many activists from the death penalty.
