This oral history of ex-combatants of the Portuguese colonial war
places the reader face-to-face with the men who were conscripted to
fight the last and bloodiest of the West's colonial wars in Africa,
namely in Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau (then Portuguese
Guinea), between 1961 and 1974. At the forefront of this work are
the lived experiences of a wide range of Portuguese veterans,
framed by broader insights about the post-war public memory of this
event in Portugal. Moving away from stereotypical and polarized
images of these ex-combatants, An Oral History of the Portuguese
Colonial War: Conscripted Generation explores the memories and
consequences of this war for these veterans and their society.
Seeking to understand why Portuguese ex-combatants often feel
neglected and historically unrecognised, this book presents a
thorough portrait of a continually shifting - and at times
paradoxical -individual and collective remembrance process.
