by Giles Tremlett (Author)

En esta penetrante obra, el hispanista Giles Tremlett recorre la intensa vida y el legado de Francisco Franco, el enigmático dictador que definió el siglo XX de España.

Francisco Franco pasó en pocos años de ser un joven oficial anónimo a convertirse en el general más joven de Europa, conocido por su ambición, talento y capacidad de mando.

Sin embargo, su figura como uno de los dictadores más longevos de la historia contemporánea mundial sigue siendo objeto de debate. Con el golpe de Estado militar que lideró y el personalísimo régimen de influencias fascistas instaurado tras tres años de cruenta guerra civil, destruyó una España pujante y modernizadora o salvó al país del caos izquierdista?

Esta nueva y ambiciosa biografía explora las complejidades de la personalidad de Franco: su difícil relación con un padre exigente y liberal, su mesiánica adopción de la guerra como forja de la nación y la formación de su ideología autoritaria. La historia continúa con su implacable liderazgo durante la Guerra Civil, sus alianzas con Hitler y Mussolini, y la Guerra Fría que a continuación le permitió rehabilitarse internacionalmente.

Tremlett estudia cómo Franco modeló España desde una perspectiva que cuestiona su caracterización como un líder vacilante. En realidad, presenta a un dictador obstinado y reaccionario, pero de ideas políticamente simples, que usó el terror para mantener su férreo control del país. Tras el fracaso de sus políticas autárquicas y obligado cambio de rumbo a mitad de camino, lo que acabaría siendo su legado más duradero (y sorprendentemente anacrónico) fue el largo periodo de estabilidad que permitió que, a su muerte, España se sacudiera el espíritu absolutista que él mismo representaba.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this incisive work, Hispanist Giles Tremlett covers the intense life and legacy of Francisco Franco, the enigmatic dictator that defined twentieth century Spain.

Within a few years, Francisco Franco went from being an anonymous young officer to becoming the youngest general in Europe, known for his ambition, talent, and ability to command.

However, his figure as one of the most long-lasting dictators in contemporary world history is still a matter of debate. With the military coup he led and the highly-individualistic regime with fascist influences established after three years of a bloody civil war, did he destroy a thriving modernizing Spain, or did he save the country of left-wing chaos?

This new and ambitious biography explores the complexities in Franco's character: a difficult relationship with his demanding liberal father, his messianic adoption of war as a way to forge a nation, and the creation of his authoritarian ideology. The story carries on with his implacable leadership during the Civil War, his alliances with Hitler and Mussolini, and the Cold War that later allowed him to restore himself internationally.

Tremlett studies how Franco modeled Spain from a perspective that questions his characterization as a wavering leader. In truth, he presents an obstinate and reactionary dictator, but with simple political ideas; a man who used terror to keep his fierce control over the country. After his autocratic policies failed, forced to change course halfway through, what would end up being his most lasting (and surprisingly anachronic) legacy was the long period of stability that allowed Spain, upon his death, to shake off the absolutist spirit he himself embodied.
