Much like Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, Adventures of a Young Man tells of a disillusioned young American radical fighting on the side of the Second Spanish Republic in the Spanish Civil War. The book was, in fact, the outcome of the two authors' 1937 visit to Spain, during which their friendship ended in a heated political quarrel.
