There‘s so many I want to read!!! How about you?

Cuilin The two sides of the Spanish Civil War are the left side, known as the Republicans, was formed by the Spanish government together with unions, communists, anarchists, workers, and peasants. On the other side were the Nationalists, the rebel part of the army, the bourgeoisie, the landlords, and, generally, the upper classes. 2d

ChaoticMissAdventures If anyone wants a nonfiction about this time Hemingway and Orwell's books are both great and semi- autobiographical but this one is the best I have read (and I have been obsessed with this time period since I was a teen exchange student in Spain) 2d

I feel like if I were to go back and chose a different path for my life I‘d become a historian. So much of what I read is history or biography, and books like this are so brutal but I feel that the history is so important and I am very attracted to the path of other people‘s memory.
