«Idealistes sota les bales» is a historical essay by Paul Preston, published by Proa in hardcover (536 pages, in Catalan).
Paul Preston addresses the Spanish Civil War through the foreign correspondents who covered it. He portrays journalists and writers such as Hemingway, Henry Buckley, George Steer or Koltsov, and shows how these often reckless idealists reflected in their dispatches the contradictions of a country divided between fascism and democracy.
It is part of the Perfils collection from Proa and was awarded the Premi d'assaig Fundació Ramon Trias Fargas 2006. Translation by Laia Font Mateu.
Aimed at the general public, it will interest readers of contemporary history and those who follow Paul Preston's work on the Civil War.
