Eby does not accept the standard politically correct line, but neither does he go to the opposite extreme. Rather, he demonstrates a very good grasp of the volunteers as individuals, not as political puppets, and is thoroughly sympathetic to them on the human level, while at the same time showing the real character of the politics involved. --Stanley G. Payne, University of Wisconsin-Madison, author of The Spanish Civil War, the Soviet Union, and Communism The result of this new research is a detailed, forthright, and empathetic account of the short, but active life of the Abraham Lincoln Battalion, set masterfully in the larger context of the Spanish Civil War and the politics of the American Left in the 1930s. --Scott E. Belliveau, Journal of Military History [Eby's] Between the Bullet and the Lie (1969) was a good book and Comrades and Commissars is better. Cecil Eby's book on the American volunteers who fought in the Lincoln Battalion of the International Brigades (IB) in the Spanish Civil War exposes in lively detail what happened to the Americans in Spain. --Stephen Burgess-Whiting, Register of the Kentucky Historical Society Comrades and Commissars is the best book ever written about the Lincoln Battalion.
