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.)
