Politics and the Military in Modern Spain
$28.93
Book
The Spanish military have been deeply involved in politics for a century and a half, from the end of the Napoleonic Wars through the long rule of Francisco Franco that followed the Spanish Civil War. This is the first full-scale study in any language of the relation of the military to Spanish politics, government, and public issues in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The key period 1917-39 is given special attention.
The military first intervened in domestic affairs in the early nineteenth century when neither the traditional monarchy nor the new liberal regime proved able to govern. The Army has played a crucial role note because of its efficiency or its leaders' wisdom, but simply because of its capacity to impose decisions on the intense, seemingly insoluble, factional struggles of Spanish politics.
Though the focus of the book is on political relations, the military role of the Army is also considered, with emphasis upon such leading political generals as Weyler and Primo de Rivera. Certain standard ideas about the causes, nature, and objectives of military activity in politics are revised, and new data are presented on the military conspiracy of 1936 and the Civil War of 1936-39.
Stanley G. Payne is Associate Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the author of Falange: A History of Spanis Fascism.
