Fascism in Spain, 1923-1977, by celebrated historian Stanley G.
Payne, is the first comprehensive history of Spanish Fascism to
appear in any language. This authoritative study offers treatment
of all the major doctrines, personalities, and defining features of
the Spanish fascist movement, from its beginnings until the death
of General Francisco Franco in 1977.
Payne describes and analyzes the development of the Falangist
party both prior to and during the Spanish Civil War, presenting a
detailed analysis of its transformation into the state party of the
Franco regime -- Falange Espanola Tradicionalista -- as well as its
ultimate conversion into the pseudofascist Movimiento Nacional.
Particular attention is devoted to the crucial years 1939-1942,
when the Falangists endeavored to expand their influence and
convert the Franco regime into a fully fascist system. Fascism in
Spain helps us to understand the personality of Franco, the way in
which he handled conflict within the regime, and the reasons for
the long survival of his rule. Payne concludes with the first full
inquiry into the process of "defascistization, " which began with
the fall of Mussolini in 1943 and extended through the Franco
regime's later efforts to transform the party into a more viable
political entity.
