• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book, first published in 1977, traces the origins of the left-wing Portuguese army rebellion of 1974 that overthrew the 50-year-old authoritarian regime to the traditional political independence of the armed forces, their increasingly strained relations with the regime, and finally to the unpopular colonial wars.
