Anyway - a great book showcasing his total disillusion and the mess he came through as well as the background of the conflict. |
"Homage To Catalonia"? Also a good read. The last one I read of his was "Keep the Aspidistra Flying". A bit slow at times, but an excellent application to every day life and the emphasis put on material possessions. So true! Of course, that book was written over 50 years ago, and it only keeps getting worse with time (the concept, not the book).
