¡No Pasarán! Matt Christman's Spanish Civil War
by Matt Christman
dark
hopeful
informative
inspiring
reflective
fast-paced
What was initially intended to be a 4-part podcast mini-series, No Pasarán: Matt Christman’s Spanish Civil War is the culmination of Christman’s notes and recounting of the convergence of communism, socialism, anarchism, and the ultimate takeover of fascism in pre-World War II Spain.
While mostly rote in detail and fast-paced in reading, this book gives the reader a sense that change for a better, more equitable world is still possible because it was actually experienced and implemented for a brief period of time in Civil War Spain. It also gives valuable learning experiences from the past.
This book is super-limited in quantity as this was created to help fund the author’s recovery from his stroke and support for his wife and baby. Word of his past vlogs, Cushvlogs, to be made into a collection of essays is currently in the works as of this post date. If you wish to learn more or support Matt Christman, check out the podcast Chapo Trap House.
