The story of the Americans who fought in Spain in the International Brigades.

Edwin Rolfe
First Printing US 1939

During the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), almost forty thousand men and women from fifty-two countries, including 2,800 Americans, traveled to Spain to join the International Brigades to help fight fascism. The U.S. volunteers served in various units (medical, combat and transportation) and came to be known collectively as the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.

Our great uncle Richard (Ricco Joseph) Rusciano (see note in photo) left Corona, Queens as a volunteer and rose to the rank of Lieutenant.
