- Summary
- "Churchill and Spain examines why Franco's regime was alone among Europe's "Big Three" Fascist dictatorships in being able to survive beyond the end of the Second World War, and to what extent Churchill's lenient wartime policies enabled Franco to remain in control of Spain. Richard Wigg draws upon Foreign Office documents, many hitherto embargoed under the 50-year rule or only recently available under the Freedom of Information Act, to take a fresh look at the political and economic relations between Britain and Spain during the war. He re-examines the wartime papers of Prime Minister Churchill and Samuel Hoare, Britain's special envoy to Madrid, for the light shed on Britain's handling of an unfriendly neutral."--BOOK JACKET.
