About this book

West Germany and the Portuguese Dictatorship 1968-1974 examines West Germany's ambiguous policy towards the Portuguese dictatorship of Marcelo Caetano. Lopes sheds new light on the social, economic, military, and diplomatic dimensions of the awkward relationship between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Caetano regime.

Reviews

“This is an important contribution to a developing area of Portugal’s contemporary international history. … it provides an accessible as well as a carefully and convincingly argued account of an important European relationship at a key period for each of the states involved.” (Norrie MacQueen, Diplomacy & Statecraft, Vol. 27 (1), 2016)
