Franco. The Most Detailed Biography of the Spanish Dictator Who Ruled the Country Autocratically for Four Decades

The culmination of many years of scholarly work, this book is unique in its own way: the author does not focus solely on the biography of a specific individual but provides a comprehensive picture of the development of Spain, Europe,... and the world over several decades, presenting a rich palette of opinions from contemporaries of one of the most mysterious figures of the 20th century. Accompanying the author throughout the life journey of the protagonist, the reader will likely be able to answer the question of what traits a person must possess and what they must lack in their character to be able to suppress an entire society by rising to the top of the hierarchy of power in a civilized country, unilaterally determining the fate of a whole nation, executing and pardoning at their whim, in other words, becoming a totalitarian ruler.
