by Jamie Stewart Jones (Author)

Uncover the history of António de Oliveira Salazar's rise to power in Portugal in "Salazar Rising: The Establishment of Portugal's New State." This meticulously researched work comprehensively explores the ascension of the man who transformed Portugal from a state of political and economic turmoil into a stable, if authoritarian, nation. From his early days as Finance Minister in 1928 to his appointment as Prime Minister in 1932, Salazar's vision and tenacity are brought to life. Discover Salazar's strategies, his critique of the liberal republic and his promotion of a corporatist state rooted in Catholic traditions and national unity. This book sheds light on the complex web of alliances, opposition and ideological struggles that defined Salazar's regime. Witness the role of the military, the Catholic Church and industrial interests in shaping his New State and the resistance and criticism Salazar faced from various factions, including the radical National Syndicalists. With a rich historical context and insightful analysis, "Salazar Rising" offers a compelling and informative account that is sure to captivate readers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of authoritarian regimes, the interwar period in Europe and the enduring legacy of Salazar's rule in Portugal.
