This extremely scarce pamphlet is one of an edition of three thousand copies which sold out immediately on publication. The pamphlet represented the views of a selection of British authors on the Spanish civil war, including Aldous Huxley, Aleister Crowley, Evelyn Waugh, Vita Sackville-West, Ezra Pound and Arthur Machen. The number of authors against the war heavily outnumbered the authors who were pro-war. It was written in an era when the media was beginning to have more power than ever before with the general public.
