Overview

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.
