Synopsis of the Editor: "Was in the Civil War of Spain that Ralph Fox came to Portugal. Your order need was to investigate the rear of Franco in Lisbon, probing the trafficking of weapons and the support of the Portuguese Government to the Spanish fascists.

In Portugal Now, published in England in 1937 but until today unprecedented in Portugal, Fox gives an account of his investigations, with the sharp look who feels in enemy territory. By the way, sketches a portrait of the social and political reality of the country, a record that is, in addition to insightful, extremely fun, with a sense of irony.

So we found the image of a quiet, friendly Portugal, retrograde, dominated by the figure of the regeneration of caricatured deliciously Portugal», Dr. Salazar. In the words of Fox, ' to show that it's updated, Portugal also has its Savior of the fatherland. This gentleman-like his fellow Franco, Mussolini and Hitler-feeds the same ambition to save civilization and has the clear conviction that the shortest route (and, consequently, more merciful) for the salvation of civilization is its destruction."
