May 3, 2012 For Whom The Bell Tolls Book Summary The book begins with Robert Jordan surveying an area of mountain terrain behind enemy lines. He's a young American volunteer fighting for the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. They're the good duys fighting for freedom, democracy and the people. A flashback shows that he has been told to blow up a bridge in three days as part of a surprise attack on fascist forces. The fascists must not be allowed to send reinforcements over the bridge, so Robert, along with two bags of explosives, are ordered to destroy it. His guide in the area is an older man named Anselmo, who introduces Robert to Pablo, a grizzled guerilla leader who is basically the boss around here. Pablo isn't eager to help Robert, and doesn't seem too trustworthy. Eventually agreeing to help, Pablo leads Robert and Anselmo back to his hideout. There Robert meets some of Pablo's friends, notably Maria. She and Robert are interested in one another, and he meets Pillar, Pablo's imposing wife. An argument between Robert and Pablo ensues later that night, Pablo announces that he won't let Robert blow up the bridge because he wants to play it safe. Unfortunately, Pablo's no longer in charge. Robert is awakened by the sound of fascist planes who may be ready to attack, Robert, Pillar, and Maria leave the camp to visit El Sordo, the leader of another group that's worked with Pablo's group. On the way, Pillar tells the long and bloody tale of what happened in her town when the war began. They arrive at El Sordo's camp, and El Sordo agrees that his band will help in the attack.
