“In a clear speech, and with great communicative skills, the author describes in these Memories the national and international environment in which Salazar acted, evoking his main collaborators and documenting the biggest moves on foreign policy which saved Portugal from the 2^nd world War. […] The main political currents in dispute at the time of Salazar are also screened here, as well as divergences and intrigues developing at the heart of the very regime”.
