Although he had achieved international prominence as a surgeon, he was unhappy in his personal life and deeply frustrated by a failed attempt to introduce medicare to Canada. An uncompromising humanitarian in search of a cause, Bethune became immersed in the Spanish Civil War. In Bethune in Spain, Roderick Stewart and Jesús Majada recount Bethune's achievements in Spain and the events that led to his decision to assist the Loyalist forces. The narrative contains Bethune's letters and reports, some of them reproduced here for the first time, as well as newspaper articles, and interviews with him. It covers his creation and operation of a mobile blood transfusion unit, his rescue of fleeing Loyalist civilians during the Malaga-Almeria road tragedy, and his efforts to aid children orphaned by the War. It also deals with the gruelling public-speaking tour Bethune undertook on his return to Canada in 1937 to plead for intervention in support of democracy in Spain and to raise awareness of atrocities committed against civilians by the fascist-backed Spanish Nationalists. Illustrated with photographs from Bethune's seven months in Spain, Bethune in Spain is a poignant portrait of an early advocate for universal health care, an unwavering communist, and a crusader for the Spanish Republican cause. 606 $aPhysicians$zCanada$vBiography 606 $aPhilanthropists$zCanada$vBiography 606 $aCommunists$zCanada$vBiography 606 $aGeneral Surgery$zCanada$vBiography 607 $aSpain$xHistory$yCivil War, 1936-1939$xParticipation, Canadian 607 $aSpain$xHistory$yCivil War, 1936-1939$xMedical care 607 $aSpain$xDescription and travel 615 0$aPhysicians 615 0$aPhilanthropists 615 0$aCommunists 615 12$aGeneral Surgery 676 $a617.09 700 $aStewart$b Roderick$01631826 702 $aMajada Neila$b Jesu?s 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817214603321 996 $aBethune in Spain$93970632 997 $aUNINA
