From backwater Ferrol to the highest seat in Spain. Franco often goes unmentioned in the 20th century, despite spanning key events from pre-WW I to the height of the Cold War.

His early life is intriguing, and dare I say a product of his spurned paternal figure. Despite this, his filial piety to his mother, Pilar, is as fascinating as it is doting.
