Description

"A real page-turner until the unfortunate death of José Antonio Primo de Rivera, the playboy fascist whose colorful and violent rhetoric was balanced by good sense, style and charm. Payne's account of fascism in Spain before Franco is matter-of-fact and free of moralizing. The later chapters deal with the Franco regime through WWII, who the historian portrays as more of a capable, moderate opportunist than a dynamic fascist Jefe. Recommended as an introduction to the 20th century Spanish incarnation of fascism."
