Reviews
"A young boy casts his fate with the wretched of the earth, leaps onto the back of the mad bull that will become the Twentieth Century, and holds on for dear life!" --Bill Ayers "A rare plunge into the dark whirlpool of politics, passion and intrigue that swirled around the docks, bars and tenements of Barcelona in 1918... Pistoleros! is a crack shot that rings out to remind us of times that were less bland." --Pauline Melville, actress and author of Shape-Shifter and The Ventriloquist's Tale "Written with tremendous brio, this is a passionate and gripping tale of an idealist's coming of age. McHarg's gripping narrative convincingly taps the rich historical seams of intrigue, protest and conflict of an age in which many of the streets of Barcelona became stained with blood." --Chris Ealham, author of Anarchism and the City: Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Barcelona, 1898-1937
Synopsis
Barcelona, 1976: Hired gunmen brutally murder a lifelong friend and fellow anarchist, forcing Farquhar McHarg into a race to document an epic history before he too can be silenced. The first volume of his memoirs finds him a Glasgow boy, dropped by chance into Barcelona's revolutionary underworld at the tail end of the great imperialist war of 1914-1918, recruited by Spanish anarchists to act as a go-between with Britain's Secret Service Bureau. McHarg tells of a corrupt and brutal Spanish regime, bent on bringing a rebellious working class back under its heel, and the generous and recklessly idealistic men and women who struggled to transform it after rejecting traditional party politics. Pistoleros! is a thrilling tale of intrigue and romance, and a sweeping inside view of the saboteurs and spies, the capitalists and bold insurrectionaries of Spain's bloody past., In Farquhar McHarg's autobiography, a young boy from Glasgow finds himself in the middle of Barcelona's revolutionary underworld at the tail end of World War I. Volume One chronicles McHarg's liaisons between the British Secret Service Bureau and the Spanish anarchists.
