In the second half of the 20th century, the last three dictatorships of Western Europe ended — the Franco regime in Spain, Salazar’s in Portugal, and the "Black Colonels" in Greece. Ultimately, their citizens preferred democracy over authoritarianism. In this book, political researcher and journalist Alexander Baunov describes attempts to prolong these dictatorships and how they concluded, differences and similarities of this transition through peaceful transformation in Spain, revolutionary events in Portugal, and military adventure in Greece, and about the people who enabled or opposed this transition.
