Stanley G. Payne

Stanley George Payne (born September 9, 1934) is an American historian of modern Spain and European fascism at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He retired from full-time teaching in 2004 and is currently Professor Emeritus at its Department of History. His works on the Spanish Civil War are known for their "revisionist" approach and have been criticized by some historians for overly benevolent treatment of Francoism and spreading Francoist narratives. Other aspects of his studies have also been somewhat questioned. Provided by Wikipedia
