Biographical notes:

Manny Harriman (1919-1997), born Samuel Nahman, was a veteran of both the Spanish Civil War and World War II who later pursued careers in tool and die making and publishing. During the McCarthy period he changed his name in an attempt to avoid harassment. He and a fellow Abraham Lincoln Brigade veteran, Arthur H. Landis, ran a small publishing firm, the Camelot Publishing Company. Following his first return trip to Spain in 1977, Harriman became interested in the history of his fellow Spanish Civil War veterans, and began the videotaping project in 1985. He began by interviewing 76 veterans in the San Francisco area; other veterans were interviewed in Los Angeles, San Diego, Washington, New York, Oklahoma, and along the East Coast.
