Arthur H. Landis (1917-1986) went to
Spain in 1937 as a volunteer with the 15th International Brigade and fought with the
MacKenzie-Papineau Battalion. In 1967, Landis wrote The Abraham
Lincoln Brigade, a general history of American volunteers in the Spanish Civil War,
and later published Spain! The Unfinished Revolution, about the
political complexities of the war. The Landis collection of audiotapes consists primarily
of
interviews with American Spanish Civil War veterans conducted in the 1960s as part
of his
research for The Abraham Lincoln Brigade. A few miscellaneous
tapes recorded for other purposes are also included.
