From the preeminent historian of 20th century Spain Paul Preston, Architects of Terror is a new history of how paranoia, conspiracy and anti-Semitism was used to justify the military coup of 1936 and enabled the construction of a dictatorship built on violence and persecution.
It is the previously untold story of how antisemitic beliefs were weaponised to justify and propagate the Franco overthrow of liberal Spain.
The Spanish military coup of 1936 was launched to overturn the social and economic reforms of the democratic Second Republic, and its educational and cultural challenges to the established order. The consequent civil war was fought in the interests of the landowners, industrialists, bankers, clerics and army officers whose privileges were threatened. However, a central justification for a war that took the lives of around 500,000 Spaniards was that it was being fought to combat an alleged scheme for world domination by a non-existent ‘Jewish-Masonic-Bolshevik Conspiracy’. Despite the fact that Spain had only a tiny minority of Jews and Freemasons, Franco and his inner circle were ardent believers in this fabricated conspiracy and spread the notion that the survival of Catholic Spain, as well, of course, of the establishment’s economic interests, required the total annihilation of Jews and Freemasons.
Architects of Terror is the story of how fake news, mendacity, corruption and nostalgia for lost empire generated violence and hatred. The book presents vivid portraits of the key ideologues who propagated the myth of the Jewish-Masonic-Bolshevik Conspiracy and of the military figures who implemented the atrocities that it justified. Among the convictions shared by these individuals was their belief in the idea that Freemasonry was responsible for Spain’s loss of empire and in the factual veracity of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the notorious fiction about the global domination of the Jews.
This is a history that reverberates in our own political moment.

Right, the terror of Franco?
How about the communists raping and beheading nuns and other church officials. These inversions of truth are beyond despicable. How much can you invert the truth? The communists embarked on a shocking campaign of terror in Spain and if it was not for Franco, Spain today would likely be openly communist, even more so than it is and it’s people would have tales similar to the laobaixing in China, the Russian people, the Cuban people, and on and on.
How can you people live at a time where more people have infinite access to real and extensive information and yet, represent one of the stupidest times in the history of mankind. You people are so stupid and brainwashed. Wake up or your history will be like the others listed.
Nothing is more dangerous than communism. Do the work to educate yourselves.

Are you kidding?
The communists raped and beheaded nuns. Murdered priests and citizens alike. If it were not for Franco the Spanish would have shared histories like the Laobaixing, the Russian people, the Cambodians, the Cuban People, and on and on.
These inversions of truth are shocking and revolting. Seconded only by how brainwashed and ignorant you people are. How do you live at a time where the access to information has never been greater and yet you represent one of the stupidest subsets in mankind’s history. Educate yourselves. The truth could not be further from what this book posits.
If you don’t wake up to the dangers and communism, you will share histories with the groups I have listed.
