When the dust finally cleared, few could imagine that General Francisco Franco's victory over a short-lived republican government would lead to a dictatorship that would endure for nearly four decades. It wasn't until his death in 1975 that Spain ushered in an era of modern democratic rule. How can we account for the longevity of Franco's regime? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFear and Progress: Ordinary Lives in Franco's Spain, 1939–1975\u003c\/i\u003e rejects traditional explanations of consensus or repression as broad oversimplifications. Separating myth from the reality of Franco's legacy, this compelling book recounts the vivid memories and traumatic experiences of Spanish citizens who lived, suffered, and died during the Franco dictatorship. Hundreds of confidential government documents reveal fresh insights into life during the early years of the Franco era: how political violence and repression were experienced; how the dictatorship exploited illusions of peace and prosperity for its own benefit; and how the regime's legacy was manipulated. Also explored are the social cost of political decisions for ordinary Spaniards, and the exodus that was responsible for the decline of rural Spain's traditional way of life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFear and Progress\u003c\/i\u003e is an enlightening journey through the 40 years of turmoil and strife that shaped modern Spain.
