Summary

"Set against the background of major events in Europe and the world in the period 1939-45, Franco and the Axis Stigma provides a systematic examination of the Franco press in all of its four dimensions - Church, military, monarchist and Falangist - representing the four differing expressions of what was then a totalitarian regime. What it reveals is that the regime's yearning for an Axis victory never waned up to the bitter end."--, Provided by publisher
