Fighting Fascism: The Americans - Women and Men - Who Fought In the Spanish Civil War

In July 1936, rightwing military officers led by fascist General Franco attempted to overthrow the newly elected democratic government of Spain. Hitler and Mussolini quickly joined in support of Franco. In response, nearly 3,000 Americans defied the US government to volunteer to fight in the Spanish Civil War, they called themselves Abraham Lincoln Brigade. We speak with two surviving veterans, Moe Fishman and Clarence Kailin. We also play excepts form the documentary "Into the Fire: American Women in the Spanish Civil War" and speak with filmmaker Julia Newman.
