Reviews

Thoroughly researched... Dr Stone deserves congratulation for producing such a comprehensive and objective guide to this critical period in the Alliance's history. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW This excellent book deserves a wide readership. HISTORY Discards the usual economic and political reasons for an alliance... argues that strategic consideration enabled Britain to overlook Salazar's repressive regime and even the lack of any economic advantage... most useful for diplomatic historians.
