49th mixed brigade. Chronicle of a soldier

Manuel Pitarch García was twenty-one when the Civil War broke out in Spain, and without thinking twice he decided to enlist as a volunteer on the Republican side. After several months in Madrid, he was sent to Guadalajara, where he joined the 49th Mixed Brigade of the Popular Army. 

In this comic, Manuel tells his son how about his war experiences, all the places he went, the battles he witnessed, and, of course, a handful of anecdotes that shed light on a lesser-known part of the conflict.

Jordi and Alain Pitarch recover in this work their grandfather's experience. A tribute to his memory and to all who lived through the atrocity of a war, ensuring that this grey chapter in Spain's history is never forgotten and, hopefully, never repeated.
