General Francisco Franco (1892-1975), ruler of Spain for nearly
forty years, was one of the most powerful and controversial leaders
in that nation's long history. This deeply researched biography
treats the three major aspects of his life-personal, military, and
political. It depicts his early life, explains his career and rise
to prominence as an army officer who became Europe's youngest
interwar brigadier general in 1926, and then discusses his role in
the affairs of the troubled Second Spanish Republic. Stanley G.
Payne and Jesus Palacios examine in detail how Franco became
dictator and how his leadership led to victory in the Spanish Civil
War that consolidated his regime. They also explore Franco's role
in the great repression that accompanied the Civil War-resulting in
tens of thousands of executions-and examine at length his
controversial role in World War II. This masterful biography
highlights Franco's metamorphoses and adaptations to retain power
as politics, culture, and economics shifted in the four decades of
his dictatorship.
