This is a study in English of the Carlist Movement, the extreme
right-wing party in Spain, during the climactic decade of the
1930s. Carlism represents the oldest existing movement of the
traditionalist right in Europe. In 1931 Carlists had already been
in conflict with Spanish liberalism and leftism for over a century,
seeking to reverse the trends of the nineteenth century and restore
a religiously inspired corporative monarchy and harmonious society.
During the 1930s they attacked and plotted the overthrow of the
democratic Second Republic, participated in the rising of 1936 and
then played a major political and military role within Nationalist
Spain. Dr Blinkhorn discusses Carlism's internal politics, power
struggles and sources of support; its ideology; its relations with
other elements in the Spanish right, principally Falangism and
Catholic conservatism; its attitude towards the Republic,
liberalism and the left; its view of contemporary events elsewhere
in Europe; its stress on paramilitarism and conspiracy against the
Republican regime; and its wartime role.
