By 3 p.m. the next day, the government surrenders and a fifty-year fascist regime is overthrown. Hardly a shot has been fired. Carnations decorate the barrels of the revolutionary soldiers' guns. Portugal is free.\u003cbr\u003eOperation Historic Turn winds through the streets of Lisbon as the revolution unfolds     and reveals the myriad acts of ordinary and extraordinary resistance that made 25 April possible. It's a story of daring escapes from five-storey prisons, soldiers disobeying their generals' orders and simple acts of courage by thousands of citizens. Alex Fernandes also guides us through the curious and contested afterlife of the revolution     and the fates of its heroes in modern Portugal.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636923093150,"sku":"UBD-9780861547548","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780861547548.jpg?v=1774399722","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780861547548","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
