He knew everything about France, but nothing about Portugal; he understood what was happening in distant Moscow, but not in his native Lisbon. He did not realize that he was no longer ruling his own country - he had been deposed almost two years ago, but he never realized it. António Salazar ruled a vast colonial empire for more than 40 years, but fell victim to his own favorite child - censorship.
Italian journalist Marco Ferrari examines the history of Europe's longest-running dictatorship, from its beginnings in the 1930s, under Hitler, Franco and Mussolini, to its decline in the 1970s, the era of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. It tells the story of the controversial figure of António Salazar, a former seminarian and provincial teacher who managed to keep Portugal out of the world war, but at the same time created a sophisticated repressive machine and tried with blood to keep the empire from collapsing.
