El grupo «Cruzada» – «Tradición Familia y Propiedad» (tfp) y otros emprendimientos laicales tradicionalistas contra los sectores tercermundistas. Una aproximación a sus prácticas y estrategias de difusión en los años sesenta

In particular, the practices deployed by the "Crusade" group that later became "Tradition, Family and Property" (TFP) are analyzed.
