The news of the execution of Nagy and Maleter has been widely disseminated through normal world news channels; the spontaneous official as well as public reaction and comment throughout the world (except, of course, in Communist-controlled countries) has been sharp and extensive, and in line with U.S. objectives.
The Special Committee on Soviet and Related Problems is of the opinion that the executions of Nagy and Maleter, insofar as topical treatment is concerned, have already been given close to maximum exploitation, particularly in view of subsequent events in the Near East,/9/ which have overshadowed all other developments in the world press.

 The Bell Tolls at Brunete, Robert Wernick
Some 50,000 volunteers from almost every country in the world, joined the International Brigades on the more realistic premise that the first order of business was not to change society but to win the war.
The brigades were formed and directed by Communists and most of their members were old party stalwarts like Josip Broz, later to be Marshal Tito, ruler of Yugoslavia, and Pal Maleter, later to be the Hungarian general hanged by the Russians after the anti-Communist uprising of 1956.
As Hemingway's hero Robert Jordan put it, their policy was "the soundest and sanest for the duration of the war."

In December of that year, Party leader Janos Kadar made his famous declaration to the Hungarian people: "Whoever is not against us, is with us."
