I'd recommend Anons also read Javier Cercas' Soldiers of Salamis. It's a good book. It kinda tries to close the gap that separates right wingers and fascists with left wingers and communists (in Spain). But it does it by representing Franco as an opportunist that betrayed the Falange and almost everyone else, which I'm sure anons around here would not like. But it's one of the few books that also represents the Falange very sympathetically.
It's a good and fun book.
