From Publishers Weekly:
For nearly 40 years, General Franco wielded autocratic rule in Spain, denying basic rights and keeping opponents in check. In this lucid, informative study, British journalist Gilmour documents that Spain's recent, remarkable transformationfrom Franco's repressive dictatorship to parliamentary governmentwas fueled by massive changes (industrialization and urban growth) in the 1960s. Democracy, he maintains, became a "natural" development, one demanded by a majority of Spaniards. The author begins by tracing Franco's rise after the 1936 Civil War, then shows how the cold-hearted, politically adept dictator managed, with only minority support, to personally control a technocratic government. Gilmour then describes the people and forces behind the democratic transition under King Juan Carlos, and the difficulties still faced in instituting reforms. November 13

From Library Journal:

The four years after Franco's death saw sweeping change in Spain, with substantial implementation of democratic political processes. But the change built on developments during the Franco period, to which Gilmour devotes the first half of this account for the general reader. Gilmour's theme is that Franquismo was a personal and pragmatic rule more than a fascist system, and that the equally pragmatic negotiation of Adolfo Suarez made possible the flawed but impressive transformation. Robert Graham's Spain: a nation comes of age ( LJ 12/84) aims at a more knowledgeable reader and gives more space to economic and social development. If you can't have both books, choose Graham for an academic library, Gilmour for a general collection. Nancy C. Cridland, Indiana Univ. Libs., Bloomington
