In Hiding by Ronald Fraser
Manuel Cortes was a Socialist Party member, an activist in the peasant reform movement and an organizer in the farm workers' unionization struggles. He also became mayor of Malaga, where he was caught up in the ferment of revolutionary Spain in the late 1930s. This title supplements Cortes' ordeal.
In the mountain of books about the war there cannot be another so brief and yet so complete, so unguarded and yet so subtle, so movingly human as this-- Arthur Miller * New York Times *
[In Hiding] bears [Fraser's] trademark style, a kind of literary anthropology that tells sweeping stories with a pointillist logic ... Scrupulous about structure and detail, his tales are unfailingly readable-from his depiction of a Spanish village in Tajos to his oral history of the civil war, The Blood of Spain. -- Jonathan Blitzer * Bookforum *
A truly fascinating account. * Glasgow Herald *
