For Whom the Bell Tolls

Summary: Another great novel by Hemingway
Review: I had to write this review because of the review someone else wrote...This person said it was about Hemingway's support for anti-communists and young americans going over to Spain during the civil war to fight the communists...He must not have read the book. The main character of the book went to fight against the FASCISTS, not the communists. He hated fascism and wanted to stop the fascist regime from taking Spain. Fighting on his side were many communists, or Spanish backed by communist nations, such as the spanish generals trained by the communist Russian nation, so how on earth this reviewer could think it was against communism if he read the book is beyond me. Also, this book is about much more, it explores moral issues and covers themes from love to the truth of war. Hemingway really makes you see the tragedy and pointlessness of war.
