Voices of the revolution - Revisiting April 25, 1974. Interviews and studies.

New volume in the collection "April 25th seen from the outside": THE PORTUGUESE REVOLUTION AS SEEN BY THE MAIN MILITARY OFFICERS OF THE MFA, AN ESSENTIAL LEGACY OF HISTORY AND MEMORY. 

"These interviews were skillfully conducted by Paul Manuel in 1991, when the tumultuous days of the revolution had passed, but events were still vivid enough to be recalled in some detail. The reflections of 14 central military leaders of different ranks and political beliefs recorded here give us a clear view of the astonishing diversity within the military institution, of the disaster that was avoided, and also of the ways of thinking that were sometimes penalizing, sometimes facilitating a happy ending. These fascinating interviews, along with the essays that frame them, offer us a vivid picture of some of the men who ultimately determined the fate of Portugal. A more prominent role should be given to military actors in our literature on regime change, and this should be widely read." — Nancy Bermeo, Foreword With interviews with: Amadeu Garcia dos Santos, António de Spínola, Carlos Fabião, Fisher Lopes Pires, Francisco da Costa Gomes, Jaime Neves, José Manuel da Costa Neves, Luís António Casanova Ferreira, Manuel Monge, Mário Tomé, Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho, Vasco Gonçalves, Vasco Lourenço, Vítor Alves
