This is the eighth installment of the Fruitless Bookclub, a show-within-a-show, featuring Chris Barker and Jake the Lawyer, where we read all those nonfiction books we've been meaning to read. Today's episode is about ¡No Pasarán! by Matt Christman. Dear various leftists of different persuasions: please don't get mad at us. Spanish speakers, please be nice to me about my terrible pronunciation of names and phrases.
