このコンテンツについて
'Making Francisco Franco’s long life and 38 years of dictatorship enjoyable reading is a daunting challenge ... Giles Tremlett nonetheless succeeds magnificently' PAUL PRESTON
'A magisterial, ground-breaking new portrait ... Sets a gold standard in Spanish Civil War history' ELISABETH DRAYSON
From a scrawny, overlooked military graduate to the youngest general in Europe, Francisco Franco was known for his ambition, talent and calculated risk-taking. Yet his reputation remains a topic of fierce debate. Did he destroy Spain and stifle its democracy or rescue the nation from left-wing tumult? In this compelling biography, Giles Tremlett unravels the complex life and legacy of the enigmatic dictator who shaped twentieth-century Spanish history.
This book will delve into the complexities of Franco's character, exploring his volatile relationship with a domineering father, his traumatic experiences fighting in Morocco and the formation of his authoritarian ideology. The narrative follows Franco's ruthless leadership during the Civil War, his alignment with Hitler and Mussolini and the subsequent Cold War era that brought him international rehabilitation. Tremlett interrogates Franco's transformation of Spain through a lens that challenges the conventional view of him as a bumbling leader. Instead, he argues that Franco was a deliberate and pragmatic dictator who wielded terror to maintain an iron grip on power, and whose lasting (and most surprising) contribution was the period of peace that allowed Spain to challenge the absolutist spirit he embodied.
Nuanced and comprehensive, El Generalísimo offers a fresh perspective that reveals the intricate interplay of ambition and fearlessness of Francisco Franco; and examines his enduring legacy that continues to shape Spain's political and cultural landscape.©2025 Giles Tremlett (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
批評家のレビュー
Giles Tremlett gives a rounded portrait of Francisco Franco, whose rise to power was extraordinary by any standards—from the youngest general in Europe since Napoleon, at the age of 33, to victor of the Spanish Civil War, and then dictator for 36 years. Tremlett’s vivid book makes judicious use of reports, memoirs, and newspapers of the time for an engaging and penetrating biography (William Chislett, author of SPAIN: WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW)
Given the new world disorder, the resurgence of autocrats in so many places; the crisis and fragility of democracy… it’s good to have a new [biography of Franco]. In El Generalísimo, Giles Tremlett delivers an excellent biography – compelling, authoritative, even entertaining – of this highly dislikable creature (Simon Sebag Montefiore)
