This is the story of those farmers and workers taken by surprise by the Spanish Civil War. However, they did not hesitate a moment to defend the Second Republic. Grabbing axes, sickles, hammers, and with luck some firearms, they fought against the rebel forces with more passion than rationality, first as a militia and later as soldiers of the republican army. More than 70 years after those screams, noises, and whistles, these Andalusian farmers tell us the horror into which their lives turned. Testimonials from the recent history of Andalusia.
