It challenges traditional readings of Primo de Rivera as a benign, non-ideological leader who established a paternalistic dictatorship, instead showing an astute and ambitious politician who created a nationalist, highly repressive, authoritarian regime profoundly influenced by Italian fascism. The monograph also explores Primo de Rivera's role as the creator of right-wing populism in Spain, who portrayed politicians and judges as enemies of the Spanish people, used 'fake news' in his propaganda machine, and presented himself as a charismatic leader ready to destroy the liberal elites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for scholars and students specialising in Spanish history and politics, along with those interested in nationalism, populism, far-right movements, Fascism, dictators and authoritarian regimes in twentieth-century European history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47961034227863,"sku":"9781032691831","price":5742.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032691831.webp?v=1782822277","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-peoples-dictator-the-life-of-general-primo-de-rivera-9781032691831","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
