AN INSPIRING STORY IN TIMES OF HORROR
The Spanish Civil War, waged in the late 1930s, was one of the most destructive in European history, pitting families against one another.
The fascist regimes supported the Nationalists, who ultimately won the war, while the Soviet Union, and American and European artists
and writers, including Ernest Hemingway, backed the Second Spanish Republic.
THE AUTHOR
STEWART LYTLE aspired to write novels like For Whom the Bell
Tolls, the epic love story during the Spanish Civil War. When given the opportunity to write the astonishing love story of Martí and Montse by their very son and daughter, he saw it as fate.
After graduating from Princeton University, he set out to follow in Hemingway’s footsteps. He became a lifelong journalist, writing for several American
newspapers.
Stewart was not a war correspondent like the young Hemingway, but was
assigned as a national correspondent to cover the Pentagon and wrote
articles about soldiers and sailors for newspapers across the country. He
crawled through the mud with Marine snipers and landed on aircraft carriers.
He also reported on military issues in Congress and at the White House.
Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Stewart now divides his time between Texas
and Boston’s North Shore, where he lives with his wife, Mary.
He is the author of the acclaimed novel Iron City Conspiracy.
