«Le Temps de Franco» is Michel del Castillo's historical biography of Francisco Franco, published by Fayard in paperback (392 pages, in French).
The book traces Francisco Franco's life from his childhood and military training to his role as dictator, including the colonial war in Morocco and his directorship of the Zaragoza Academy. Without focusing directly on the war, it addresses by theme the left-wing uprising, the fall of the Republic, the repression, the role of the Church, international recognition, economic development and the establishment of the monarchy under Juan Carlos. Del Castillo, who lived through that era, combines a portrait of the man with a reflection on half a century of Spanish history.
The work, subtitled «récit», is a literary portrait of the last great dictator of the 20th century, born in 1892 and died in 1975.
Recommended for readers interested in the history of Spain and biographies of 20th-century political figures.
Michel Janicot del Castillo was a French writer.
