ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The definitive biography of Franco in a brilliant graphic edition.A carefully executed reworking sure to attract new readers with its expressive format. - lvaro Pons, El Pa sIn his authoritative biography of Francisco Franco, historian Paul Preston challenges traditional hagiographies of the dictator to present a multi-faceted, meticulous and riveting portrait of the man who decided the fate of Spain for almost four decades. Preston shows us the many sides of Franco: the ambitious and ruthless soldier; the admirer of Hitler and Mussolini; and the single-minded politician increasingly convinced of his own role but incapable of understanding the complexities of the modern state and economy. The picture that emerges is of a viscerally conservative man, as cautious as he is power hungry, a master manipulator of people and the levers of power. Now re-released in graphic format, this essential volume, illustrated by Jos Pablo Garc a (Preston's collaborator on the adaptations of The Destruction of Guernica and The Spanish Civil War) is a compelling read for anyone interested in the recent history of Spain and one of its key protagonists.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/8/41/939/906/841939906X_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "24.95", "online_price" : "24.95", "our_price" : "24.95", "club_price" : "24.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
