Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of Portugal by : Douglas L. Wheeler
Book excerpt: Portugal remains one of the least known of West European states. The dictionary fills the knowledge gap with hundreds of entries and the most extensive multilingual bibliography of any English-language book in print on Portugal. Among topics covered are biographies, institutions, customs, trends, socio-economic conditions, emigration, tourist and historic sites and buildings, and Portugal's 500-year old colonial empire--the first established, the last to be decolonized.
