A comprehensive review of Portugal, the Portuguese and their history?
Review date: 2006-07-18 Rating: 8 out of 10
I found this book well structured, informative and enjoyable being a nice mix of fact and narrative.This makes the book very readable and useful to anyone going to Portugal for a holiday or more permanently.A small irritation is the authors regular habit of using English/England where Britain/British would be accurate eg in touching on the Iberian Peninsular War.I trust her information on Portuguese history is better than her apparent knowledge of British history.Without this criticism I would have given the book five stars.
