re: #35 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

Except for Rick, who fought in that war but became bitter and then left and opened a bar/nightclub in Casablanca.

There were a fair number of international volunteers that fought for both sides. Pretty much all the political bugaboos were in play in that time period in Europe. And there are a lot of divisive things going on in Spain itself. Regional animosities, the standard communism/socialism/republicism/fascism/monarchist schisms, and a good dollop of religious/anti-religious fervor as well.
