Publication by Zdenko Maršálek: Members of the International Brigades, Czechoslovakia and the Spanish Civil War.

By Zdenko Maršálek, Emil Voráček & others, published with the co-operation of the Institute of History and the Institute of Contemporary History, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague 2017.
The edited publication has emerged from the common project of the team of Czech experts. The project was launched by a representative conference held in the Senate of the Czech Republic on 22 October 2015, and this publication represents – besides a number of other outputs – its final completion. The attention is focused on lesser known or neglected aspects of the Spanish Civil War and the International Brigades, and especially on the life fates of Czechoslovak volunteers.
