Analyzing the career and character of the popular Portuguese chief executive Antonio Salazar, this exhaustive study examines the socioeconomic, political, and religious arguments that won him decades of support from his people. Written in collaboration with the influential leader himself, this overview encapsulates the political and social landscape of Europe in the 1920s and 1930s and explains how Salazar came into power, maintained good international relationships, and became the 'reluctant dictator' who was central in rebuilding the Portuguese state's finances and economy.
