Payne also affirmed that "La Guerra Que Gano Franco" (The War that Franco Won) "is the best military history of the Spanish Civil War in one volume." In his books about the Spanish Civil War he has used the Soviet original sources to make discoveries about the role of the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War and the Cold War, the Republican Political Repression or the foreign intervention in the conflict. In his work " Paracuellos- Katin: El Genocidio de la Izquierda" and in "Checas de Madrid," Vidal provides an estimate of people murdered during the Spanish Civil War by leftist groups. Among his studies in History of Religions, especially praised has been his thrilogy of founders of religions; " Jesus, el Judio","Buda, el Principe", and "Mahoma el Guia."

El Genocidio de la Izquierda, he gives revisionist views of the conflict that are at odds with mainstream historians, and which are shared by fellow conservatives like Pío Moa and Ricardo de la Cierva.
