Portuguese Counterinsurgency Campaigning in Africa - 1961-1974 | A Military Analysis

From the dusty shelves of the archives. This thesis, by John Pearce Cann, III,  "...makes a comparative analysis of the counterinsurgency campaign fought by the Portuguese government in its African colonies from the time of the Angola uprisings in 1961 until the military coup in 1974. It describes how Portugal defined and analysed its insurgency problem in light of the available knowledge on counterinsurgency, how it developed its military policies and doctrines in this context, and how it applied them in the African colonial environment."
