title="George Orwell">George Orwell</a>, in which he accounts his personal experiences and observations while fighting in the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War" title="Spanish Civil War">Spanish Civil War</a>. </p><p>Covering the period between December 1936 and June 1937, Orwell recounts <a href="/wiki/Catalonia" title="Catalonia">Catalonia</a>'s revolutionary fervor during his training in <a href="/wiki/Barcelona" title="Barcelona">Barcelona</a>, his boredom on the front lines in <a href="/wiki/Aragon" title="Aragon">Aragon</a>, his involvement in the interfactional <a

title="POUM">POUM</a> was declared an illegal organization. The war was one of the defining events of his political outlook and a significant part of what led him to write in 1946, "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, <i>against</i> <a href="/wiki/Totalitarianism" title="Totalitarianism">totalitarianism</a> and <i>for</i> <a href="/wiki/Democratic_socialism" title="Democratic socialism">democratic socialism</a>, as I understand it."<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Initial reception was mixed, often depending on whether the reviewers' analyses of events aligned with Orwell's. Praise was reserved for his vivid depiction of life on the frontlines, while criticisms were aimed at his denunciations of the Republican government and Communist Party. It received a second wave of popularity during the 1950s, after the popularity of Orwell's novels <i><a href="/wiki/Animal_Farm" title="Animal Farm">Animal Farm</a></i> (1945) and <i><a href="/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four" title="Nineteen Eighty-Four">Nineteen Eighty-Four</a></i> (1949) attracted a reevaluation of the book, with American liberal intellectuals presenting it as a work of <a href="/wiki/Anti-communism" title="Anti-communism">anti-communism</a>. During the 1960s, figures in the <a href="/wiki/New_Left" title="New Left">New Left</a> again recontextualised it through the lens of <a href="/wiki/Revolutionary_socialism" title="Revolutionary socialism">revolutionary socialism</a>, opposed both to <a href="/wiki/Marxism-Leninism" class="mw-redirect" title="Marxism-Leninism">Marxism-Leninism</a> and <a href="/wiki/Capitalism" title="Capitalism">capitalism</a>, which attracted another wave of criticism from figures in the <a href="/wiki/Communist_Party_of_Great_Britain" title="Communist Party of Great Britain">Communist Party of Great Britain</a> (CPGB). Since the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_transition_to_democracy" title="Spanish transition to democracy">Spanish transition to democracy</a>, it has received a reevaluation by historians in debates about its
