Conspiracy and the

Spanish Civil War

Written by one of the most celebrated historians of the Spanish Civil War,

Herbert R. Southworth, this book presents a fascinating account of the

origins of the war and the nature and importance of conspiracy for the

extreme right. It offers a highly detailed reconstruction of how a plot was

concocted to justify the military uprising of July 1936 in Spain, and how

the ‘facts’ of the plot were consolidated and disseminated by right-wing

propagandists throughout Europe. Furthermore, the book explores how the

myth of the Communist ‘secret documents’ was perpetuated well into the

1970s.

The latter part of the book, The Brainwashing of Francisco Franco , deals

with the most influential reader of the documents, General Franco himself.

Including an account of Franco’s associations with the Entente Inter-

nationale contre la Troisième International, it represents a major

contribution to the analysis of Franco’s ‘thought’, and provides fascinating

evidence of the depths and origins of his obscurantism.

Based on exhaustive research, and written with lucidity and mordant

humour, this book acts as both an outstanding introduction to the vast liter-

ature of the war, and a monumental contribution to that literature.

Herbert R. Southworth was a leading historian of the Spanish Civil War.

During a long and varied career, he worked at the Library of Congress, was a

publicist for the Spanish Republic during the Civil War, and served with the

U.S. Office of War Information in North Africa during the Second World

War. In 1946, he founded Radio Tangier, which he managed until 1960. He

built a huge collection of books on the Spanish Civil War and taught at the

Universities of California and Vincennes, Paris. He wrote widely on

twentieth-century Spain, including El mito de la cruzada de Franco (1963) and

Guernica! Guernica!: A Study of Journalism, Diplomacy, Propaganda and History

(1977) .
