Additional information

by Julián Casanova (Author)

Una biografía imprescindible para acercar al lector del siglo XXI una de las figuras centrales de la historia española.


Nadie ha condicionado tanto la historia contemporánea de España como Francisco Franco Bahamonde (1892-1975). Sin embargo, y a pesar de su omnipresencia --de las monedas a las aulas, del NODO al debate público--, el dictador sigue siendo un desconocido, oculto tras una maraña de apriorismos, tópicos, maniqueísmos y mentiras. El profesor Julián Casanova, considerado el mejor historiador de su generación y máximo especialista en el período, ofrece una biografía informada y reveladora sobre la persona y el personaje que determinó los destinos de España durante cuatro décadas.


Cincuenta años después de su muerte, Casanova revela aspectos desconocidos por sus coetáneos y traza, para las nuevas generaciones, el retrato definitivo del dictador. Para ello ha indagado en decenas de testimonios, libros y documentos que, con el poso de toda una trayectoria académica y de investigación, le permiten una aproximación tan precisa y novedosa como relevante y sugestiva.


Franco comenzó el asalto al poder con una sublevación militar y lo consiguió a sangre y fuego en una guerra civil. Hasta entonces, había sido uno más entre sus mediáticos hermanos, entre los despiadados africanistas y entre las estrellas ascendentes tentadas por la contrarrevolución. La asunción del poder absoluto modificó profundamente tanto su personalidad como su proyección exterior y su círculo íntimo. A pesar de no contar con un cuerpo ideológico o programático consolidado y de su escaso carisma, su legado forma parte de nuestro pasado más reciente. Hoy, con este relato magistral, la reconstrucción biográfica está completa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An essential biography that brings one of Spain's central historical figures closer to 21st-century readers.


Few individuals have shaped Spain's contemporary history as profoundly as Francisco Franco Bahamonde (1892-1975). Yet despite his omnipresence--from coins to classrooms, from state propaganda to public debate--the dictator remains largely unknown, obscured by clichés, dogmas, and distortions. Historian Julián Casanova, widely regarded as the leading expert on the period, delivers a thoroughly researched and revealing portrait of the man who ruled Spain for four decades.


Fifty years after Franco's death, Casanova uncovers little-known aspects of his life and offers new generations a definitive portrait. Drawing on decades of academic work and a wealth of testimonies, books, and documents, he presents a precise and compelling account of Franco's rise and rule.


Franco seized power through a military uprising and secured it with brutal force during a civil war. Before that, he was just one among his famous brothers, ruthless colonial officers, and rising stars tempted by counterrevolution. His assumption of absolute power deeply altered both his personality and his public image. Despite lacking a coherent ideology and personal charisma, his legacy remains part of Spain's recent past. With this masterful narrative, the biographical reconstruction is now complete.
