This meticulously researched book presents a vivid portrait of King
Juan Carlos from his awkward years as Franco's chosen successor as
the Head of State of an authoritarian regime to his achievements in
promoting and defending the new democracy after Franco's death in
1975. Few modern kings have played so important a role. Dr Powell's
biography is therefore essential reading if we are to understand
contemporary Spain.' - Sir Raymond Carr;Widely acknowledged as a
key figure in Spain's remarkable transition to democracy following
General Franco's death in 1975, King Juan Carlos consolidated his
reputation as a champion of democracy by aborting the attempted
military coup of 23 February 1981. This political biography of the
Spanish monarch sheds new light on his childhood, the process
whereby he became Franco's successor in 1969, his subsequent
contribution to his nation's democratization, and his role as
constitutional monarch since 1978, both at home and abroad.
