Portuguese Africa: From Fascism to Marxism

Frank Barton

Chapter 8 in The Press of Africa, 1979, pp 169-184 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract So often in Africa, it is the men with the guns who change the course of history. In Portuguese Africa, there was an ironic twist to this pattern. Though in both Moçambique and Angola there were plenty of Black men with guns trying to rewrite history, it was White soldiers thousands of miles away in Lisbon who on the morning of 25 April 1974 were to set in train events which not only ended four hundred years of Portugal’s African Empire but were to bring the threat of an international confrontation to White Africa.
