Some people say there are parallels between the current Syria combatants and the communists, anarchists and social democrats who, during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) joined the International Brigades to fight against Franco. About 800 Dutch military volunteers were active in Spain. Upon their return their passports were taken from them and they became stateless.

ENTRE LA REVOLUCIÓN Y LA GUERRA (1934-1939)
Exposición

Nevertheless, a serious analysis of trade is clearly lacking from Cold War historiography.
John Tully will give a talk on his 2014 book, Silvertown – The Lost Story of a Strike that Shook London and Helped Launch the Modern Labour Movement on Tuesday 10 February at the New International Bookshop (basement of Trades Hall, 54 Victoria St, Carlton, 6:45pm for 7pm start).
