José Antonio Primo de Rivera, Anthology of Speeches and Quotes

Step into the political crucible of pre-Civil War Spain with this authoritative collection of speeches and quotations by José Antonio Primo de Rivera (1903–1936), founder of the Falange Española. The son of General Miguel Primo de Rivera, José Antonio was a lawyer, orator, and parliamentarian who would become a central figure in Spain’s nationalist revival.

In 1933, amid the turmoil of the collapsing Second Republic, he launched the Falange—a movement that initially drew little support but quickly grew as ideological and street-level conflicts intensified. Imprisoned and executed by the Popular Front in 1936, José Antonio’s death would galvanize nationalist forces and elevate him to martyrdom, known thereafter as El Ausente (“The Absent One”). His legacy, though controversial, played a critical role in shaping Spain’s political future under Franco.

First released in 1950 by the Falange’s official publishing house, Ediciones Prensa del Movimiento, this English-language edition was lost to history after the publisher’s dissolution in 1984. Antelope Hill Publishing now proudly brings this volume back into print, preserving the rhetoric, vision, and political philosophy of one of Spain’s most consequential historical figures.

Whether you're a student of European history, political philosophy, or 20th-century ideologies, this collection is an indispensable primary source.
