Retronaut has collected a huge gallery of posters from both sides of the Spanish Civil War that come from the Biblioteca Nacional de España site.

1936-1939: Posters from the Spanish Civil War

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    CBC Radio recently aired a very good documentary about Canadians who volunteered for the International Brigades.  The interviews were done 50 years ago and were never aired until now. It’s here, if anyone is interested.

    No way Spain could win:  Caught between Fascism and Communism and Socialism.

    Gorgeous posters. I presume some of the language is Catalan?

       It is indeed.
