This is a scarce appearance of Hemingway, during his 'non-fiction' time in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. Since Hemingway was on the side of the Loyalists / Republicans, he was reporting on the atrocities committed by Facists / Nationalists (even though both sides committed these horrible atrocities). Much of the idea and body from For Whom the Bell Tolls was composed at this time, even though he would write it a few years later. There are a total of 14 Ken Magazines which feature articles by Ernest Hemingway. This would help complete that magazine set, or be a nice addition to any Hemingway collection.
