AABI-Vol 1- International Brigade Sites in Central
Madrid
5.00 €
This book is intended to inform a public interested in places in Madrid that were directly or indirectly
connected with the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War. The book is organized around three
guided routes. The red route indicates memorial sites the three battalions of the XI IB passed on November
8, 1936 from Atocha Station to their positions assigned by the command that day. The yellow route traces
different places frequented by the brigadiers on the rare occasion they were given leave from arduous
warfare. The purple route mainly indicates sites that reveal the extent of international support for the
Republican cause. Accompanying the book is a map displaying the three routes with summary information on
each site. By recalling and honoring these historical sites, we hope to play a part in keeping alive and
spreading the legacy of these “volunteers of freedom― who came to defend the Spanish Republic. This
was the first struggle of resistance against aggressive fascism that ended up being defeated in 1945. About
the Author Ken O’Keefe, M.A., language teacher, university educator, researcher, and American resident
of Japan, has been visiting, investigating, and documenting historic sites of the Spanish civil war in Madrid for
over 15 years. He is a member of the Friends of the International Brigades (AABI) and the Madrid Spanish
civil war historical preservation group GEFREMA (Grupo de Estudios del Frente de Madrid). He has
published essays and presented at conferences in both Madrid and Tokyo on the themes of historical
memory of the Spanish Civil War.
