The End of a Regime: How Three European Dictatorships Ended

In the second half of the 20th century, the last three dictatorships in Western Europe ended: the regimes of Franco in Spain, Salazar in Portugal, and the "black colonels" in Greece. Their citizens ultimately preferred a democratic system to an authoritarian one. In his book, political researcher and journalist Alexander Baunov tells how the dictatorships of these three countries tried to prolong their existence and ended, about the differences and similarities of this transition as a result of a peaceful transformation in Spain, revolutionary events in Portugal, and a military adventure in Greece, and about the people thanks to or in spite of whom this transition took place.
