Santa Maria: My Crusade for Portugal - Hardcover

Santa Maria: My Crusade For Portugal is a historical book written by Henrique Galvao. The book follows the story of Galvao, a Portuguese naval officer who became a political activist and led a failed attempt to overthrow the dictatorship in Portugal in 1959. The book is an account of his life and his crusade for democracy in Portugal. Galvao's story is a fascinating one, as he was a man of many contradictions. He was a naval officer who became a revolutionary, a Catholic who became a socialist, and a man who fought for freedom and democracy in Portugal but was forced to spend most of his life in exile. The book is a gripping account of Galvao's life and the political turmoil in Portugal during the mid-twentieth century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Portuguese history, democracy, and human rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
