Book Review: Ni una, ni grande, ni libre. La dictadura franquista by Nicolás Sesma.

The book review discusses "Ni una, ni grande, ni libre. La dictadura franquista" by Nicolás Sesma, which provides a synthesis of the Franco regime in Spain. The author successfully navigates the challenges of writing about a well-researched topic and presents a nuanced and dynamic understanding of Francoism. The book is divided into four sections that explore violence, the role of the regime during World War II, its adaptation to the Cold War context, and the "second Francoism." Sesma's work challenges myths about the regime and highlights the role of ordinary Spaniards in shaping Francoism. [Extracted from the article]
