Jose Peirats, a long-standing member of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT); editor of its newspaper, Solidaridad Obrera ("Workers Solidarity"); and member of the federated anarchist affinity groups, the Federación Anarquista Ibérica (FAI), here traces the story of the half million refugees who left Spain when Franco came to power in 1939.
