«Franco: Caudillo de España» is the biography of Francisco Franco written by Paul Preston, published by Grijalbo in hardback (1043 pages, in Spanish).
Against the providential image of Francoism, Preston portrays Franco as an ambitious and conservative military man, skilled at balancing powers, an admirer of Hitler and Mussolini, but incapable of understanding the modern state and economy. He documents his rise and his regime, and their impact on the history of Spain between 1939 and 1975.
Translation by Teresa Camprodón and Diana Falcón; includes 32 pages of plates, index and bibliography (pp. 977-1017).
A reference work for anyone wishing to understand the recent history of Spain and the central figure of Francoism.
Sir Paul Preston CBE is an English historian and Hispanist, biographer of Francisco Franco, and specialist in Spanish history, in particular the Spanish Civil War, which he has studied for more than 50 years. He is the winner of multiple awards for his books on the Spanish Civil War.
