Rated only 3 stars as I personally didn’t enjoy it hugely. Though the content was interesting and it’s an important read! I picked this up in order to have a deeper understanding of the Spanish Civil War before starting Spanish A Level.

I like how it was a very personal account- Orwell wrote it in a friendly, personable way and kept the political information for appendixes at the back (though I believe in some copies these appendixes are chapters of the book!)

I feel like I learned a lot about the tensions particularly in Barcelona although I will need to do some more research on the politics.
