George Orwell’s Commander in Spain: The Enigma of Georges Kopp
(Thames River Press)
Belgian born Georges Kopp fought against Franco in Spain, used his engineering skills as a front when he went undercover in Nazi-occupied France, and finally escaped to Britain, where he became George Orwell’s brother-in-law. Orwell may have used him as a template for O’Brien in Nineteen Eighty-Four. That enigma was Georges Kopp.
