Anti-Fascist Commander Milton Wolff Dies at 92

HeadlineJan 17, 2008

And Milton Wolff, the last commander of American volunteers who fought against the Fascists in the Spanish Civil War, has died. More than 2,700 Americans went to Spain in defiance of the U.S. government to serve in what they called the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Wolff was twenty-two years old when he became the brigade’s last commander. He went on to become active in the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements. In the 1980s Wolff personally delivered ambulances to the Nicaraguan government when the Reagan administration was trying to overthrow it. Milton Wolff died this week at the age of ninety-two.
