António de Spínola: Portugal and the Future, Third Edition

António de Spínola: Portugal and the Future, Third Edition General António de Spínola Nothing like this had ever been seen before: all 50,000 copies of the first edition of Spínola’s book—a staggering number for that era—vanished from bookshops in an instant. It went on sale on the morning of February 22, fifty years ago, and was already sold out in Lisbon by lunchtime. By year’s end—recalls António Valdemar, a distinguished journalist who worked on the book’s revision—Portugal and the Future had sold approximately 230,000 copies nationwide. The book entered history—not only for the interest it aroused, nor merely for its sales figures, but also for its profound political significance. It delivered a powerful blow to the jaw of the dictatorship. The regime, stunned, never recovered from the relentless strike launched by a one-eyed general, his monocle firmly fixed in his right eye—and would collapse to its knees just two months later, on Thursday, April 25.
