![]() ![]() Payne’s co-author, Jesús Palacios, is a journalist and historian (in that order), well known in Spain, where he has a wide circle of admirers and friends, many of whom come from the right and far right. ![]() What is more, Payne has trained several generations of historians of Spain, many of whom continue to produce high quality works on a variety of topics. With this, he has greatly contributed to the rebirth of civil society in democratic Spain. Payne started publishing in the decade before Francisco Franco’s death in November 1975, and in the years since his work has greatly contributed to our understanding of a period deliberately obscured by the legacy of the dictatorship (1936–75). ![]() He is also the author of numerous books on Spain, some of them real landmarks in our knowledge of that country’s modern history. He has a well-deserved reputation as an excellent historian who has produced, among other publications, perhaps the best guide to the study of European Fascism ( A History of Fascism, 1914–45). ![]()
