Kenneth Maxwell: “That’s always my recommendation: never underestimate the Portuguese”

His first visit to Lisbon was in 1964, in the midst of Salazarism, and since then Kenneth Maxwell has studied Portugal, writing about the Marquis of Pombal or the 25th of April, also about the Portuguese Empire. Brazil is another interest of the great British historian. He has now published three more books, including ‘Perspectives on Portuguese History’.
