‘Robert Mason has crafted an essential text for our understanding of both Australian political history and multicultural Australia. The narrative moves masterfully between the fascinating biographies of the key anarchists (particularly Salvador Torrents) and sub-ethnic and generational distinctions (early settlers versus newcomers) among the “Spaniards” that conditioned their distinctive actions and attitudes in Australia to twentieth-century events – most notably the Spanish Civil War.’
-Professor William Douglass, University of Nevada
