Sinossi

James Maley, George Watters, Donald Renton and Archibald Williams were members of Machine Gun Company No. 2 of the XV International Brigade. This is the first book to focus on a small group of men from different starting-points, ended up in the same battleground at Jarama, and then in the same prisons after capture by Franco's forces.
Their remarkable story is told both in their own words and in the recollections of their sons and daughters, through a prison notebook, newspaper reports, stills cut from newsreels, interviews, anecdotes and memories, with a foreword by Daniel Gray.
Our Fathers Fought Franco is a collective biography that promises to add significantly to the understanding of the motives of those who 'went because their open eyes could see no other way'.

    What are the lives of America's richest families really like? Their nannies see it all . . . 
     
     
     
    When Stephanie Kiser moves to New York City after college to pursue a career in writing, she quickly learns that her entry-level salary won't cover the cost of living. But there is one in-demand job that pays enough to allow Stephanie to stay in the city: nannying for the 1%. Desperate to escape the poverty of her own childhood, Stephanie falls into a job that hijacks her life for the next seven years: a glorified personal assistant to toddlers on Manhattan's Upper East Side. 
     
     
     
    At first, nannying seems like the perfect solution—the high pay covers Stephanie's bills, and she's surprised by how attached she becomes to the kids she cares for, even as she gasps over Prada baby onesies and preschools that cost more than her college tuition. But the grueling twelve-hour days leave her little time to see her friends, date, or pursue any creative projects that might lead to a more prestigious career. The allure of the seemingly-glamorous job begins to dull as Stephanie comes to understand more about what really happens behind the closed doors of million-dollar Park Avenue apartments—and that money doesn't guarantee happiness. Soon she will have to decide whether to stay with the children she's grown to love, or if there's something better out there.

    The outcome of the Civil War changed dramatically in this alternate history, with the South emerging victorious. The Confederacy’s early victories redefined the course of the conflict and set the stage for a dramatically different future. One of the key factors in the South’s triumph was the strategic advantage gained in the opening years of the war. With superior military leadership, especially from General Robert E. Lee, the Confederacy was able to exploit the Union’s weaknesses and win crucial battles that would eventually shift the momentum in their favor. The Battle of Gettysburg, for instance, saw Confederate forces turning the tide of battle in their favor. With the Union forces retreating, the South captured key northern territories, including Washington D.C., which became a symbol of Confederate dominance. 
    The impact of foreign intervention was another pivotal factor in the war's new direction. European powers, particularly Great Britain and France, had long been sympathetic to the Southern cause due to economic interests, primarily the cotton trade. With the Union struggling, European nations were more inclined to recognize the Confederacy, and this recognition provided them with military and financial support. In this alternate timeline, the Confederacy was not only able to win vital battles but also secure crucial international recognition, which solidified its independence. 
    A key turning point in this reimagined history occurred when the South succeeded in capturing Washington, D.C. After several key victories, the Union’s capital fell into Confederate hands. This was a symbolic and strategic blow to the Union cause. Without the political and military heart of the nation, the North was thrown into disarray. President Abraham Lincoln, unable to maintain control, was forced to negotiate a peace settlement. The Confederate States of America, led by President Jefferson Davis, could now dictate the terms of the peace and its future.
