The Francoist Military Trials

The book presents a compelling argument against the notion that the Franco regime solely imposed a police state on a passive populace. It reveals how local officials and regime supporters collaborated to create a formidable repressive system, enabling them to target and suppress societal elements more aggressively than the Nazis did in Germany. Through extensive evidence, the author uncovers the complexities of power dynamics and societal complicity that shaped the regime's oppressive measures in Spain.
