                In 1937 Ernest Hemingway
 traveled to Spain to cover the civil war there for the North American 
Newspaper Alliance. Three years later he completed the greatest novel to
 emerge from "the good fight," For Whom the Bell Tolls. The story
 of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades 
attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain, it 
tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of 
an ideal. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for the beautiful Maria and 
his superb account of El Sordo's last stand, in his brilliant travesty 
of La Pasionaria and his unwillingness to believe in blind faith, 
Hemingway surpasses his achievement in The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms
 to create a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, 
compassionate, moving and wise. "If the function of a writer is to 
reveal reality," Maxwell Perkins wrote to Hemingway after reading the 
manuscript, "no one ever so completely performed it." Greater in power, 
broader in scope, and more intensely emotional than any of the author's 
previous works, it stands as one of the best war novels of all time.
