THE TRUTH ABOUT PORTUGAL
This book reveals the series of causes, both political and social, which have brought Portugal to its present condition and affected the character of its people.
The entire history of Monarchical Portugal is reviewed in masterly fashion, and the work is based on a thorough knowledge and critical appreciation of all available sources. The author writes, not as an outsider, but as one who knows his country from within, and the book therefore constitutes a serious attempt to tell the English-speaking world the truth about Portugal.
The author knows that he treads “forbidden ground,” but even where he apportions the severest blame he does so in the conviction that adverse criticism of any country, “however unpleasant it may be to all Chadbands and Stigginses,” cannot be considered abusive if it be made with the intention of stirring up the forces of reform and of remedying the defects which it discloses.
