520 2  "This book reveals the development, strategy and 
       extraordinary success of Britain's secret services in 
       Franco's Spain during the Second World War. The main claim
       of this study is that British pressure, exercised above 
       all through their intelligence services, led Franco to 
       distance himself from the Axis cause and eventually 
       embrace that of the Allies. Starting from a virtually non-
       existent base, the British rapidly built up a complex 
       intelligence network in Spain that stretched from Corunna 
       to Barcelona and from Bilbao to Gibraltar. As Spain was a 
       non-belligerent, spy networks--including those of the 
       Germans, Italians, Portuguese and British--proliferated in
       the Iberian Peninsula. Double-agents abounded within these
       networks; each one knew what the others were up to. The 
       British exploited this two-way traffic to let Franco know 
       that if he did not accede to their demands, they would 
       back a restoration of the Bourbon monarchy under Don Juan.
       This pressure culminated in the meeting of 1943 between 
       Franco and the British Ambassador, Sir Samuel Hoare, at 
       the dictator's country retreat in Galicia, the British 
       underlining their purpose by flying warplanes close by the
       estate. Following this meeting, Franco almost immediately 
       began to move away from the Axis powers and towards the 
       Allies. The British swiftly dismantled their intelligence 
       networks given that they had achieved their aim. Franco's 
       expulsion of the German naval forces from Spanish ports 
       and the denazification of the regime explains the 
       benevolent attitude of the Allies towards the Spanish 
       dictatorship after the war"--Provided by publisher
