Synopsis "Alejandro Lerroux and the Failure of Spanish Republican Democracy: A Political Biography (18641949) (Sussex Studies in Spanish History) (in English)"
Alejandro Lerroux (1864&;1949) was one of the most polemical figures of early twentieth century Spanish politics. As leader of the Radical Republican Party and six-time prime minister between 1933 and 1935, his admirers saw him as a patriot determined to create a Republic for all citizens, while his critics denounced him as an opportunistic demagogue willing to sacrifice the Republic to its enemies. This book is the first scholarly biography in any language of this titan of modern Spanish politics. Utilising neglected primary material, Villa Garcia argues that Lerroux embodies the transition from the elitist liberal politics of the nineteenth century to the modern mass politics of the twentieth. Like the Second Republic itself, Lerroux&;s political career ended in failure. The work is a timely reminder to students of modern Spain that the demise of Republican democracy was not inevitable. Nevertheless, after the abrupt end to Lerroux&;s effort to sustain a broadly based moderate and democratic government, Spain would never again achieve stable and constitutional rule until 1977. The political defeat of Lerroux was a major turning point in the country&;s history, a fateful step in the failure of democracy and the coming of civil war.
