Franco
|
|
Author: Michael Streeter
Published: 2005
Pages: 169
Francisco Franco (1892-1975) grew up in the quiet backwater of El Ferrol in north-west Spain and went on to become one of the most controversial political figures of the twentieth century. His ruthless pursuit of victory in the bloody Spanish Civil War alone guaranteed him fame and notoriety. The general went on to rule Spain for nearly forty years with an authoritarian zeal that scarcely diminished in old age. Variously courted by the liberal democracies of Britain and France, the Fascist alliance of Hitler and Mussolini and then by anti-communist administrations in Washington, Franco played a major role on the world stage until his death in 1975.
