Summary

Franco's Spain looks beyond the mythology surrounding the origins of the dictatorship to provide a critical overview of the regime. From its emergence from a bloody uprising against a democratic government; through the 'high period' of francoism with its poverty, hunger and fear, followed bya complex period of change and economic growth; to the final demise of the dictatorship, amid open opposition and internal defections.Economics and society are as integral a part of the story in Franco's Spain as politics, and international relations find their place alongside purely domestic issues. The book also peers beyond the grave, examining the transition to democracy after the dictator's death in 1975.
