Portugal by Phil Mailer
What started as a military coup wihin Portugal in 1974 turned into a profound attempt at social change from the bottom up. There were 18 months of intense, democratic social tranformation which challenged every aspect of Portuguese society and caught the world's attention. This is the story of what happened as seen through the eyes of a deeply committed participant. It depicts the hopes, enthusiasm and energy behind the thousands of people who fought for change.
