Este libro es una biografía de Francisco Franco escrita por Stanley G. Payne, un historiador reconocido por su seriedad y equilibrio al abordar la figura de Franco. La obra busca trazar un perfil auténtico del hombre, militar y político que marcó la historia de España durante casi cuarenta años del siglo XX. Payne analiza la capacidad de maniobra de Franco y evalúa su lugar en la historia de España y del mundo contemporáneo. Esta edición cuenta con 276 páginas y ofrece una visión desapasionada de una figura clave para comprender la historia española y el sistema democrático posterior a su dictadura.

Stanley G. Payne is an American academic and historian, specialized in the history of modern Spain and European fascist movements at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He retired from full-time teaching in 2004 and is currently Professor Emeritus at its Department of History. His works on the Spanish Civil War and the Francoist period received various estimates: while by the 1980s he had earned the reputation of "America's most prolific historian of Spain", in the 21st century his later works became known for their "revisionist" approach, and received criticism from other historians as overly benevolent towards Falangism and for allegedly spreading Francoist narratives. However, other historians have praised Payne's work in the 21st century. In 2018, Julius Ruiz praised Payne's 2017 work Alcala Zamora and the Failure of the Spanish Republic.
