Another Hill: An Autobiographical Novel

Another Hill: An Autobiographical Novel by Wolff, Milton. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780252020919.

In this powerful novel, Milton Wolff gives readers an insiders understanding of the American volunteers who fought with the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. Wolff gives us a detailed picture of the heroism and trauma of battle, while covering as well those issues others have avoided: the desertion of some Americans, the execution of fascist prisoners, and black market activities. He dramatizes many famous figures - including Ernest Hemingway, Martha Gellhorn, Jo Davidson, Juan Negrin, and Dolores Ibarruri Gomeza (La Pasionaria) - and provides candid portrayals of major heroes and Communist party functionaries. Another Hill is, in part, Wolffs answer to Hemingways For Whom the Bell Tolls.
