Description

Fascism in Spain, 1923-1977 by Stanley G. Payne is an authoritative study of the Spanish fascist movement. This comprehensive history covers all major doctrines, personalities, and defining features of the movement from its beginnings until the death of General Franco in 1977. Payne's analysis focuses on the development of the Falangist party, particularly during the Spanish Civil War and the crucial years 1939-1942 when it sought to expand its influence. The book also explores the personality of Franco, his handling of conflict within the regime, and the reasons for the long survival of his rule. The study concludes with a detailed examination of the process of "defascistization," which began with the fall of Mussolini in 1943 and extended through the Franco regime's efforts to transform the party into a more viable political entity.
