Böcker av Stanley Payne

"An impressive review of reputed fascist movements, at once setting them apart from other authoritarian nationalist organizations and bringing them together within a qualified generic category. Running throughout the volume, and valuable to readers at every level, is a careful critique of the major debates that divide scholars on this most unintelligible 'ism' of them all. Payne precisely defines issues, cites the best literature in the major European languages, and offers with moderation and intelligence his own conclusions on the question."--Gilbert Allardyce, American Historical Review

This new volume by distinguished historian Stanley G. Payne draws on his half century of experience to offer a balanced, broadly chronological survey of Spanish history from the Visigoths to the present. Examining Spain's unique role in the larger history of Western Europe, Payne reinterprets key aspects of the country's history.
