Reviews

The Blue Shirts is important as an introduction to a little-known fascist movement -- a movement that found itself up against a more traditional authoritarian dictatorship... [This book] deepens our knowledge of the character, organization, and ideology of Portuguese fascism, as well as fleshing out the peculiarities of this national case. -- Marla Stone Journal of Modern History
