Note: From Wikipedia: Sam Dolgoff (1902–1990) was an anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist from Russia who grew up and lived and was active in the United States. Dolgoff was born in the shtetl of Ostrovno in Vitebsk Governorate, Russian Empire (in present-day Beshankovichy Raion, Belarus), moving as a child to New York City in 1905 or 1906, where he lived in the Bronx and in Manhattan's Lower East Side where he died. His father was a house painter, and Dolgoff began house painting at the age of 11, a profession he remained in his entire life. After being expelled from the Young People's Socialist League, Sam joined the Industrial Workers of the World in the 1922 and remained an active member his entire life, playing an active role in the anarchist movement for much of the century. He was a co-founder of the Libertarian Labor Review magazine, which was later renamed Anarcho-Syndicalist Review to avoid confusion with America's Libertarian Party. Dolgoff was a member of the Chicago Free Society Group in the 1920s, Vanguard Group member and editor of its publication Vanguard: A Journal of Libertarian Communism in the 1930s, and co-founded the Libertarian League in New York in 1954. He wrote articles for anarchist magazines as well as books as the editor of highly acclaimed anthologies. He was active in many causes, and attended groups like New York's Libertarian Book Club regularly. Dogloff died of congestive heart failure at the age of 88 in 1990.

Auca titled “Aleluyas sin Censura de la Vida un Poco Dura con Macula y con Borron de un Soberano Borbon”. It is critical of King Alfonso XIII. It discusses the development of his life. Baptised and crowned, Cuba was his first shock, he was happy to be in Paris, victim of terrorism, married an English princess, there was an explosion at the wedding, neutrality in WW1. His soldiers go to Morocco and are starving and ill equipped while he plays polo. His party is elected to power even though the people paid 11 million pts to the royal family. In Melila the victories are more notorious each time while the Bourbons continue to win sailing cups. He goes hunting while the Morocco swallows cannons, arms and men. Primo de Rivera wants to create a coup to restructure everything. If the public disagrees with the king they are taken away. The King and the military look after each other but in the end the King is alone. Sanchez Guerra goes against him, the King takes his money to London. Any dissenters go to prison, the military is not happy, Macia and Zamora see the Republic coming. In the end not even the Civil Guard protect him and has to leave the country. M

Two manuscripts from an Italian soldier that fought at Guadalahara and Santander. Typed. One is 25 pages, the other is 12 pages. He must have gone on to fight in Russia with the Azul Division because there are 2 pages devoted to Russia. He writes in prose with nothing that appears to be a daily entry. I suspect he was writing a book as there are also many handwritten edits. M

Auca published in 1937 in Catalunya. It reads: "De com en Gep i la Rossa van prendre tranquil·lament cafè i copa a Saragossa" How Gep and Rossa drank a cup of coffee in Zaragoza). This auca tells the story of Gep and Rossa, two young workers in love from Catalunya, helping to fight the fascist rebels in the first days of the civil war in Barcelona and then they continue and travel to fight them in Aragón. But then, Gep needs to have a cup of coffee to keep fighting, so he and Rossa decide to enter Zaragoza, a town dominated by fascist-nazi-franco troops, to drink that cup of coffee. So they dress up like moroccans and go to town. When they're having coffee they find themselves in a banquet/feast for military and religious bosses. Gep feels like doing something against then and they end up by changing the cakes for some kind of rubbish so when all the fascists realize what they're eating a big mess happens while Gep and Rossa escape. Size 35x52cm. Good condition.
