British Volunteers and the Spanish Civil War: ‘The Passionate Cause,’ 1936-

Ninety years ago, a Civil War broke out in Spain; for thousands of British and Irish people, the Spanish Civil War was their main focus for three years.

Local author and historian Chris Hall tells the story of ordinary men and women, told in their own words and reflecting the whole gamut of emotions from ecstasy to despair.

For many volunteers, the Spanish Civil War was the “Passionate Cause” and the outstanding episode of their lives. This is their story.
