Gaston Leval
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gaston Leval (born Robert Pillar October 20, 1895 - April 8, 1978) was an anarcho-syndicalist, combatant and historian of the Spanish Revolution.
The son of a French Communard, Leval escaped to Spain in 1915 to avoid conscription. There he joined the anarcho-syndicalist CNT trade union. Leval left for Argentina during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera where he would live from 1923 to 1936, returning to Spain to document the revolution and the urban and rural anarchist collectives.
