"Thus, a study of the subject of those who chose to ‘Fight for
Franco' is greatly needed...Alas, Fighting for Franco does not
quite fill that need. Judith Keene...betrays a strong Republican
bias which tarnishes her treatment of the subject...Moreover, Keene
fails to compare these people with those who served the
Republic...The problems with this work begin early...The book also
betrays a lack of knowledge of Spanish military
terminology...Although Fighting For Franco has some interesting
anecdotes about the experiences of some of the volunteers for the
Nationalists, and should be read by specialists in the Spanish
Civil War, it is not the definitive treatment of the subject."
