Organizer of the Iron Column, the Valencian Anarchist Militia Unit, Social Revolutionary, and Anti-Francoist Soldier
: He helped to set up the Valencian anarchist militia unit, the Iron Column, to unleash social revolution against the military and fascist revolt of July 1936 which began the Spanish Civil War. The Iron Column was the most intransigent and most maligned of the anarchist militias. Manzanera served on its War Committee and here remembers both its achievements, and his comrades who fell fighting, not only against fascism, but for anarchy. (From: TheKateSharpleyLibrary.net.)
Quote #4 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Individual and Change
“I am sensible of the fact that I no longer feel the allure that all this pink world used to hold for me.... And the fact is that I am not the same person I once was. Something has changed. The passage of 35 years over my now stooping shoulders has wrought changes in my face and body and in my inner self and how I view things.”
