This book, first published in 1977, traces the origins of the
left-wing Portuguese army rebellion of 1974 that overthrew the
50-year-old authoritarian regime of Prime Ministers Salazar and
Caetano to the traditional political independence of the armed
forces, their increasingly strained relations with the regime, and
finally to the colonial wars which brought professional discontent
to boiling point. The Portuguese revolution which followed provides
a unique laboratory for the study of an army in crisis, the strains
which the attempt by officers to direct the political life of the
country after April 1974 placed on military organisation; the
traditional career patterns and attitudes of soldiers and on
discipline. It examines the role of officers in government and the
day-to-day problems which political upheaval created in every
barracks. This is a study both of the armed forces in politics and
politics in the armed forces, placed within the larger context of
the revolution.
