Thoroughly researched... Dr Stone deserves congratulation for
producing such a comprehensive and objective guide to this critical
period in the Alliance's history. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW This

strategic consideration enabled Britain to overlook Salazar's
repressive regime and even the lack of any economic advantage...
most useful for diplomatic historians.
