== Related publications == ''[[Spain and the World]]'' was an anarchist publication founded in 1936 by [[Vernon Richards]]<ref>[http://recollectionbooks.com/bleed/Encyclopedia/RichardsVernon.htm Vernon Richards biography] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509062754/http://recollectionbooks.com/bleed/Encyclopedia/RichardsVernon.htm |date=2008-05-09 }} (offline)</ref> with former ''Freedom'' writers, which had effectively ceased publication in 1932. The intention was to provide an English-language publication to support [[Anarchism in Spain|Spanish anarchists]] who were at that time achieving a measure of political influence through the anarchist trade union [[Confederación Nacional del Trabajo]] (CNT) and other organisations. ''Spain and the World'' had several notable contributors, including [[Emma Goldman]], [[Herbert Read]], [[Ethel Mannin]] and [[John Cowper Powys]].<ref>George Woodcock, Anarchism:A History p.383.</ref> Between the end of the [[Spanish Civil War]] and the outbreak of [[World War II]], the fortnightly ''Spain and the World'' briefly became ''[[Revolt!]]'' in 1939 before adopting the title ''[[War Commentary]]''. In 1945, ''War Commentary'' resumed the title of ''Freedom''. In 1944, Richards, his wife [[Marie-Louise Berneri]] and two others associated with the paper ([[Philip Sansom]] and [[John Hewetson]]) were charged with conspiring to cause disaffection among members of the armed forces. Despite a defence campaign backed by the likes of [[George Orwell]], [[Michael Tippett]], [[T. S. Eliot]] and [[Benjamin Britten]], Vernon, Sansom and Hewetson were convicted and served nine months in jail.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/news/2002/feb/04/guardianobituaries.books Colin Ward's article on Vernon Richards in the UK Guardian]</ref> Freedom Press compiled a selection of articles from ''Freedom'' in the 1991 book ''The State Is Your Enemy''.<ref name="Kinna2012">{{cite book|last=Kinna|first=Ruth|title=The Bloomsbury Companion to Anarchism|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dNuoAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA388|date=2012-06-28|publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing|isbn=978-1-4411-4270-2|page=388}}</ref>
