There's plenty of history and geopolitics for the War Nerd fans, but the real delight of this book is in following long-suffering podcast host John Dolan as he traipse across the last frontiers of the affordable world. A picaresque, anti-travel memoir, an antidote to FOMO-inducing, pixel perfect Instagram fantasies.

Okay, so there's three books, but I only read the last one, about the Spanish Civil War, from beginning to end. I read about half of the childhood book and completely skipped the middle book about his time as a soldier in colonial Morocco. That said, he's such a good writer I do want to go back and read them eventually. Barea and his wife are great writers. There are passages that are at times poetic, and at other times it's some of the goriest war reporting I've ever come across. His writing about PTSD/shell shock is so compelling that you feel tired for him after a while, and he does that thing that John Dolan talks about, where you end up savouring descriptions of simple meals in passages about war hunger. His work at the censorship/Telefonica is compelling, though I wish he'd gone a little more into details. At the start of the war he was spending a lot of time trying to be useful, too, and that's really interesting. His relationship with Ilsa is interesting because he's very honest about the pain he caused his wife and mistress in leaving them, but also about how Ilsa was clearly the person he was meant to be with. Barea's convictions are heartfelt and sincere, well-reasoned, and so his criticisms of the Republic are all the more damning. His hatred for fascism is pure. It's a good book that's going to stick with me for a long time, totally engulfing, and I don't have much more to say about it than that. Twitter thread of some of my favourite bits here.
