Review: Amazing - Great book, very well explaining the history of Portugal. I have learnt a lot about this amazing country, but I feel that the book could have been longer and better explain certain historical events or have 2 or 3 extra chapters covering certain periods more in-depth. Aside that small remark, if you want to learn more about Portugal and its turbulent past, go and buy it.
Review: Five Stars - There are so few excellent histories of Portugal. This is one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing
*by M***S on 10 January 2024*

Great book, very well explaining the history of Portugal. I have learnt a lot about this amazing country, but I feel that the book could have been longer and better explain certain historical events or have 2 or 3 extra chapters covering certain periods more in-depth.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by W***B on 17 June 2018*

There are so few excellent histories of Portugal. This is one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Starts in 1640
*by B***N on 24 February 2021*

This book does not start Portuguese history until 1640 although there is one chapter summarizing Portuguese history up to that point. I was very interested in learning more about Portuguese history in the 1400 and 1500s so somewhat disappointed. Also, very focused on economics and not so much on events.
