What People are Saying About This
A fascinating and comprehensive account on the Portuguese-African Campaigns…Through careful research and a balanced presentation of oral history, Captain Dr. Cann shows how a counterinsurgency war could be fought. To my knowledge, this is the best book in English on the subject.
This is a splendid book on a little known subject. Captain Dr. John P. Cann presents a thorough and unbiased study of the Portuguese Campaigns in Africa, 1961-1974. He read many books, examined reports, interviewed people involved in the operations and, retaining the main points, related them in an outstanding way. In the end, his book results in a comprehensive study, unparalleled by any books published in Portugal or elsewhere…Captain Dr. Cann deserves to be commended for a well-done work.
