Description
Salazar: A Dictator Who Refused to Die Fifty years after his death, Portugal's Salazar remains a figure of controversy and intrigue. His legacy continues to divide opinion, with some viewing him as a reactionary and oppressive leader, while others praise his honesty, patriotism, and dedication to duty. This biography charts the highs and lows of Salazar's nearly four decades in power, from rescuing Portugal's finances during World War II to maintaining a police state while resisting change. It also explores his long-running conflict with the United States and his complex relationship with other European dictators. Iberia expert Tom Gallagher brings to life a leader who deserves greater recognition. Through a nuanced exploration of Salazar's rule, this book sheds light on a complex figure whose survival was as much due to guile and charm as it was to force.
