Warren Carroll's The Last Crusade, about the Spanish Civil War
Great book.  It has a pro-Carlist bias; and therefore somewhat anti-Franco; but its the best book in English on the Spanish Civil War or at least on the small part that it covers of that war.
"The World Must Conform to Our Lord and not He to it." Rev. Dennis Fahey CSSP

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit." Cardinal Pie of Potiers

"All men naturally desire to know, but what does knowledge avail without the fear of God? Indeed an humble peasant, that serves God, is better than a proud philosopher, who neglecting himself, considers the course of the heavens." - Thomas à Kempis, Imitation of Christ

Well, I've finished it now. What a remarkable book! I think I was a little disadvantaged by not knowing a great deal about King Arthur's story.

Ooo I've heard wonderful things about that...

Sent from my Droid Maxx

In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

It's pretty great so far, Lynne. I bought it for $10.00, so worth it.
