TO
MANUEL AZAÑA 
PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SPAIN 

IN COMMEMORATION OF 
OUR PARTICIPATION WITH HIS HEROIC PEOPLE 
IN THE WAR IN DEFENCE OF DEMOCRACY 
AND FOR 
THE ADVANCEMENT OF HUMAN LIBERTY AND PROGRESS. 
IN MEMORY OF 
THE MEN OF SPAIN AND OF TWENTY-FIVE OTHER NATIONS 
WHO ACHIEVED IN ARMS FOR THE FIRST TIME 
THE LONG-SOUGHT UNITY OF INTERNATIONAL DEMOCRACY, 
BATTLED SIDE BY SIDE, AND LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES 
SO THAT LIBERTY MIGHT NOT PERISH 
FROM THE FACE OF THIS EARTH 

WE DEDICATE 
THE BOOK OF THE XV BRIGADE
