    PORTUGUESE DRAGOONS 1966-1974
    JOHN P. CANN
    Between 1961 and 1974 Portugal fought a war to retain its African colonies of Angola, Guinea-Bissau, and Mozambique. Collectively known as the Campaigns for Africa, the origin of the conflict stems from the post-World War II atmosphere of nationalism and anti-colonial fervor.

    THE PARAS
    JOHN P. CANN
    Portuguese paratroopers or “paras” began as a stepchild of the army and found a home in the Portuguese Air Force in 1955.

    JOHN P. CANN

    COUNTERINSURGENCY IN AFRICA
    JOHN P. CANN
    Portugal was the first colonial power to arrive in Africa and the last to leave. As other European states were granting independence to their African possessions, Portugal chose to stay and fight despite the small odds of success. That it did so successfully for thirteen years across the three fronts of Angola, Guiné and Mozambique remains a remarkable achievement, particularly...
