...civil war in Spain, and with the inclusion of accounts of trips to Mexico and Russia, made the book a unified volume of 394 pages covering his travels over 20 years. It is spattered with characteristic Dos Passos splashes of color, like his description of his first glimpse of Toledo: "Against the grey and ochrestreaked theatre of the Cigarrales were piled masses of buttressed wall that caught the orange sunset light on many tall plane surfaces rising into crenellations and square towers and domes and slatecapped spires. . . ."
