Reddit reviews War Is Beautiful: An American Ambulance Driver in the Spanish Civil War

Thanks! My grandfather was an interesting guy...came from a wealthy family yet became a communist and volunteered as an ambulance driver during the Spanish Civil war.

He wrote about his experiences in the war in a book called "War is Beautiful" and a thinly veiled fictional book about a wealthy New Orleans family called "Rain of Ashes" (which is probably what got him disinherited).

Unfortunately he died of a heart attack when my father was 2 years old, so I never got to meet him.
