Crise Colonial E Independência by Alberto da Costa e Silva

A detailed historical study of the collapse of Portugal’s colonial system in Africa, tracing how economic pressures, nationalist movements and protracted liberation wars, diplomatic isolation and the rigidity of the authoritarian metropolitan regime combined to produce a deep colonial crisis and rapid decolonization; the book examines military campaigns, political negotiations and the decisive impact of the 1974 Carnation Revolution, and reflects on the social, humanitarian and geopolitical consequences of the abrupt transfer of power for both the former colonies and Portugal.
