This is a chance to hear to the fascinating 2007 BBC radio drama/documentary on the Spanish Civil War and the British Contingent of the International Brigades. It follows the story of a British brigade survivor, George Wheeler, who fought in the last great battle of the Ebro and was taken prisoner.
The drama is intercut with interviews with American, Spanish and British survivors, with comments by Professor Paul Preston who has written a definitive account of the war. The production will be followed by talks by the drama producer, Steve Chambers (University of Northumbria) and Martin Ellis (Zymurgy Publishing), publisher of the book on which the drama was based. (drama 1 hour, break, talks 30 mins)
