I believe that there is yet much interest to come in the SCW in my country;
there are still many participants and protagonists alive and I guess that
it is a subject that many people still cannot handle without passion. Do
not forget that the current democracy and liberty in Spain comes from a
transition that, in fact, was a "pact of silence" over the war and the
dictatorship. I suppose you know, for instance, that it was this very same
year (when most brigadists are dead) that the spanish government
acknowledged our debt with them. In Spain, republicanism, antisfascism and
the like are still words that sound like communist, radical or liberal to
many americans.
