Stanley G. Payne opisuje dzieje Drugiej Republiki Hiszpańskiej, czyli lata 1931-1936. Był to okres prób demokratyzacji i reform w Hiszpanii w okresie międzywojennym. Zdaniem Payne'a próby te były jednymi z największych (tzn. obejmujących wiele obszarów życia) i najważniejszych w Europie, w omawianym okresie. Autor pokazuje próby reform politycznych, stosunki państwo-Kościół, edukację i kulturę, działalność społeczną, a także kwestie obronności. Jednocześnie próbuje ocenić sukcesy i porażki tych reform, a także pokazuje ograniczenia, którym one podlegały. Bardzo istotne znaczenie w rozważaniach Payne'a mają kwestie gospodarcze i polityka zagraniczna, ukazane w szerokim kontekście europejskim.

This book is a general history of the Spanish Civil War, providing a clear and objective account of its origins in Spanish domestic affairs.

This is the first single-volume history of all the civil wars in Europe during the era of the world wars, 1905-49. It analyzes the relationship between world war and civil war and explains why this was a special time of internal conflict.

Was Franco sympathetic to Nazi Germany? Why didn't Spain enter World War II? In what ways did Spain collaborate with the Third Reich? How much did Spain assist Jewish refugees?   This is the first book in any language to answer these intriguing questions. Stanley Payne, a leading historian of modern Spain, explores the full range of Franco’s relationship with Hitler, from 1936 to the fall of the Reich in 1945. But as Payne brilliantly shows, relations between these two dictators were not only a matter of realpolitik .  These two titanic egos engaged in an extraordinary tragicomic drama often verging on the dark absurdity of a Beckett or Ionesco play.   Whereas Payne investigates the evolving relationship of the two regimes up to the conclusion of World War II, his principal concern is the enigma of Spain’s unique position during the war, as a semi-fascist country struggling to maintain a tortured neutrality. Why Spain did not enter the war as a German ally, joining with Hitler to seize Gibraltar and close the Mediterranean to the British navy, is at the center of Payne’s narrative. Franco’s only personal meeting with Hitler, in 1940 to discuss precisely this, is recounted here in groundbreaking detail that also sheds significant new light on the Spanish government’s vacillating policy toward Jewish refugees, on the Holocaust, and on Spain’s German connection throughout the duration of the war.

Die große Gesamtgeschichte der Epoche des Faschismus (1914 bis 1945) aus der Feder des bedeutendsten Faschismus-Forschers unserer Zeit. Der Faschismus war - neben dem Kommunismus - die unheilvollste und zugleich massenwirksamste Ideologie des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die gefährliche Mixtur aus Führerkult, übersteigertem Nationalismus, Fremdenhass und Rassismus, oft gepaart mit aggressivem Antisemitismus, nahm ihren Anfang mit Mussolinis Marsch auf Rom und gipfelte im vom nationalsozialistischen Regime entfesselten Zweiten Weltkrieg und im Holocaust.
