Civil war ended; Spain’s isolation did not
Writing in 1948, Arthur F. Loveday sought to explain Spain’s recent history to British readers and argue for a change in relations with Franco’s government. His account moves from Primo de Rivera and the fall of the monarchy through the Republic, civil war and Spain’s position during the Second World War. Its defence of Franco’s Spain is central to the book’s perspective.
