| Summary: | The biography written by Bartolomé Bennassar in 1995 regains its relevance now that Spain has finally achieved to exhume the remains of the dictator from the Valle de los Caídos, a monument that continues to be a memorial of a bloody dictatorship but it is hidden under an imaginary appeal of reconciliation between Spaniards. In his representation of Francisco Franco, the French historian tried to place himself in an equidistant position, criticizing the violence of the dictatorship and recognizing the dictator’s role in restoring the order and the further possibilities of democracy. Is yet to be seen if this delicate balance remains in present narratives. |
