This book opens a three-year tour at the Puffin Room in Manhattan in April 1996. The exhibition and tour are made possible by grants to the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives from the Puffin Foundation, the Charles Lawrence Keith and Clara Miller Foundation, the Program for Cultural Cooperation Between Spain's Ministry of Culture and United States Universities, the Blue Mountain Center, and the Needmor Fund. The Americans who brought these posters home have had a special status in the culture of the Left for sixty years. They remain living emblems of what it means to place the public good above your own welfare, to risk everything in pursuit of a better world.
