Ernest Hemingway was moved to write the following words after witnessing the treachery and wastage of the ignominious Spanish Civil War:

"They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war there there is nothing sweet or fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason." Ernest Hemingway: Notes for the Next War
