Of course, since I couldn’t choose my own textbook, I ended up with a profoundly pro-Franco textbook ordered by our former professor who had been, of all the bizarre things, a Catholic priest in Spain during Franco. The 500-page book contains exactly 7 pages on the Spanish Civil War, dedicated, for the most part, to “the atrocities perpetrated by the Reds.”
The chapter on Franco is all about Franco’s wisdom in organizing the country’s international relations and his crucial labor of restoring the innate religiosity of the Spaniards.
This will be a really fun course to teach.
