Description

Known to the Portuguese as the "leader of the small nations," Afonso Costa was a controversial voice domestically and internationally. Following a 1917 coup d'etat, Costa was exiled and Portugal fell into military dictatorship until order was restored by António de Oliveira Salazar's New State. The complex national history of the period is explored in this volume.
