JosE Antonio Primo de Rivera: The Reality and Myth of a Spanish Fascist Leader (Studies in Latin American and Spanish History, 3)

There are few individuals in modern Spanish history that have been as thoroughly mythologized as JosE Antonio Primo de Rivera, a leading figure in the Spanish Civil War who was executed by the Republicans in 1936 and celebrated as a martyr following the victory of the Falangists. In this long-awaited translation, Joan Maria Thomàs provides a measured, exhaustively researched study of Primo de Rivera’s personality, beliefs, and political activity. His biography shows us a man dedicated to the creation of a fascist political regime that he aspired to one day lead, while at the same carefully distinguishing his aims from those of the Falangists and the Franco Regime.
