Thirty-five thousand people from acrossthe world volunteered to join the armedresistance in a war on fascism. Morepeople, proportionately, went fromScotland than any other country, and theentire nation was gripped by the conflict.What drove so many ordinary Scots tovolunteer for a foreign war?Their stories are powerfully and honestlytold, often in their own words: theordinary men and women who madetheir way to Spain over the Pyreneeswhen the UK government banned anyonefrom going to support either side the nurses and ambulance personnelwho discovered for themselves thehorrors of modern warfare  and thepeople back home who defied theirpoverty to give generously to theSpanish republican cause.Even in war there are light-heartedmoments: a Scottish volunteer drunkenlyurinating in his general's boots, enduringthe dark comedy of learning to shootwith sticks amidst a scarcity of rifles,or enjoying the surreal experience ofraising a dram with Errol Flynn.They went from all over the country:Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee,Fife and the Highlands, and they foughtto save Scotland, and the world, fromthe growing threat of fascism.
