The history of some crucial years, those between 1939 and 1943, in which Franco could have embarked Spain in the Second World War -in fact, as Viñas shows us, he wanted to do it- receives new light in this book, where, thanks In addition to the contribution of new documentation recently declassified, we follow the complex political activity designed by Great Britain to prevent Spain from entering the war, including the military "purchase of wills" for considerable sums, carried out with the collaboration of the banker Juan March. In the book, however, there is much more than this: there is a masterful description of the world of conspirators and spies that surrounded the government, and there is, above all, an effort to explain what is behind the events, demystifying topics such as those of the interview between Franco and Hitler in Hendaye, to offer us a new and more satisfactory interpretation of Spanish politics in these years.
