An excellent graphic novel focusing on an aspect of the history of WW2 I didn’t know about - the role of Spanish republicans in liberating France. The protagonist of the story is Miguel Ruiz, now 94 and reluctantly telling his story to a young author, from fleeing Alicante in 1939 after Franco’s fascists triumphed, to hard labour in the Sahara, to joining with the Allies to march on Paris. It’s dramatic and thought-provoking stuff, culminating in the bitter disappointment of republicans as the Allies proved content to leave Franco in place. I did have a hard time telling the various soldiers apart, but it was a very interesting read. I would have liked it if the afterword said more about what aspects of the story were fictional and which were dramatizations of real events.
