At the start of the book Young and fearless American Virginia Cowles finds herself with Hemingway and others in Madrid during the Spanish Civil war. Her description of Madrid of the time is unique, and I live in Madrid to testify. From there it goes on from adventure to adventure, all narrated in her unique voice. I strongly recommend this book which will give you not the history of the time but the sensation of being there. Read it!
