5.0 out of 5 stars A great little gem, 28 Nov 2003
By Maria Russell (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Portugal: A Companion History (Aspects of Portugal) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book, brief, concise yet comprehensive. It covers the Portuguese history from its ancient roots to the present day. All presented in small chunks. Very user-friendly. It's a pleasure to read. I also like the maps, very informative and plenty of them. There are good photos too. At the end tables and other data complete the book. This is a gem. I am pleased I have come across this companion history and am delighted to recommend it to anyone interested in Portugal and its people past and present.

5.0 out of 5 stars The history of a country in a nutshell, 11 Mar 2004
By Paul Stokes (Liverpool, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Portugal: A Companion History (Aspects of Portugal) (Hardcover)
This history of Portugal contains a remarkable amount of information for such a small book, small enough to go into your pocket or handbag. It covers the pre-history of Portugal and the founding of the country in the 12th century and its history all the way to the end of the 20th century. I like this book because it is so informative, concise and readable. It also has lots of illustrations including very clear maps. Another aspect I like in this history is that it is very objective, no bias in favour or against the country. This is the best history of Portugal I know and I would recommend to anyone interested in this subject. Great value for money.
