The Plot to Kill Franco
The 18-year-old Scottish anarchist who was part of an anti-Franco group in London in the 1960s and who smuggled explosives into Spain as part of a plot to kill General Franco.
In August 1964 Stuart Christie, an 18-year-old Scottish anarchist, smuggled explosives into Spain in a plot to kill General Franco. Now in his 60s, Christie recalls his clandestine journey across Europe, the secret signals and passwords he used, and his eventual arrest by Franco's secret police.
