...crusading for an abstract, effervescent peace, the students have decided to direct their disapproval against war and the forces which make for war; compulsory military training in schools and colleges; the billion dollar war budget; teachers' oath laws and similar restrictions of American civil liberties; and finally, against the Fascist aggression in Spain...

Exiled near Zurich, Ignazio Silone now writes books about his native land which no Duce-fearing Fascist could possibly approve.
