In this work on Portuguese authoritarianism in the context of European fascism, Pinto focuses on the National Syndicalist Movement of the early 1930's. He explores its defeat in 1935 by Oliveira Salazar, the rising Catholic dictator of Portugal, and compares the entire history of Portuguese fascism to other projections of fascism worldwide.

Review:

The Blue Shirts is important as an introduction to a little-known fascist movement -- a movement that found itself up against a more traditional authoritarian dictatorship... [This book] deepens our knowledge of the character, organization, and ideology of Portuguese fascism, as well as fleshing out the peculiarities of this national case. -- Marla Stone Journal of Modern History
