Churchill and Spain

Description:

"Churchill and Spain explores the political, economic and diplomatic relations between Spain and Britain during the Second World War and explains how Churchill's lenient policies towards Franco helped significantly in the survival of Franco's regime after the war. In particular, the book demonstrates how the tolerance shown towards Spain's wartime trading in wolfram allowed the rebuilding of the country's gold reserves, which proved crucial in enabling Franco's Spain to endure post-war international isolation." "This book will be of use to scholars and students of European twentieth-century history, as well as those interested in Churchill's international role in the Second World War."--Jacket.
