[He was in the JONS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignacio_Olag%C3%BCe) (fascist group from the 1930s).
And that’s all I’m going to read about him or written by him.
Crazy book from another era with no relevance. Pure pseudohistory. I recommend reading somethin more recent and based in proper historical method and research.
You should read Gonzalez Ferrín. He upgraded this theory with a modern point of view. You can find his conferences on YouTube.
Most of the people are disgusted because Olagüe was fascist and fascist thinking is not very popular in democrat Spain. I hate falangists like a plague but this book from Olagüe is quite interesting, In my opinion.
This is a 50-year-book written by an aficionado that has been thoroughly shown to be unserious by actual academics. One of the first to go point-by-point with evidence as to why the book is historical fiction was the historian Pierre Guichard, shortly after Olagüe’s book was first published in France. A more recent and very thorough correction of Olagüe’s book is La conquista islámica de la península ibérica y la tergiversación del pasado by Alejandro García Sanjuan of the University of Huelva.
