Francisco Franco was the longest-lived of Europe's 20th-century
dictators. Capable of acts of medieval barbarity he was also an
astute politician who skilfully negotiated Spain's neutrality
during World War II and presided over the country's 'economic
miracle' in the 1950s and '60s. To his supporters he was a heroic
figure in the tradition of El Cid; to his critics he was a monster
who inflicted 40 years of clerical fascism and military repression
on Spain. Paul Preston's long and magisterial biography, while far
from exonerating Franco, is a most comprehensive, balanced account
of his life. A must for any serious student of modern Spanish
history and 20th-century politics in general. (Kirkus UK)
'Magisterial ... As engagingly readable as a good novel' Observer
The definitive biography of Generalissimo Francisco Franco, from
the acclaimed historian Paul Preston. Francisco Franco was the
Caudillo of Spain, leading the Nationalists' brutal,
Fascist-sponsored victory over the Republican government in the
Spanish Civil War and ruling Spain as dictator from 1939 to 1975.
The biography presents a mass of new and unknown material about its
subject, the fruits of research in the archives of six countries
and a plethora of interviews with key figures.
