This is a biography of British (South African-born) de facto war correspondent George Steer. Over his career Steer witnessed fighting in Ethiopia, Spanish Basqueland and Finland. The title of the book refers to the fact that Steer reported how he found evidence that German incendiaries had destroyed Guernica – when Franco's side blamed the anarchists and British government claimed "there was no evidence".
