Franco's Friends

de Peter Day

"In 1936 a British plane flew to the Canaries. On board, Major Hugh Pollard flew with two attractive young blondes. But this was no holiday and Pollard was no ordinary tourist, he was a longtime M16 agent embarking on a secret mission. Later, leaving the Canaries for Morocco, the very same plane carried another passenger, General Francisco Franco. With a cast list that reads like a who's who of British intelligence, Franco's friends tells the little-known story of how M16 helped orchestrate the coup that brought General Franco to power." --Back cover.
