No livro "Os Portugueses", Hatton relembra os principais momentos históricos que marcaram a nação, desde o período áureo dos Descobrimentos aos anos governados por Oliveira Salazar, sem esquecer a pela peculiar relação com Espanha, e termina com uma análise sobre a modernidade.
«A minha intenção é lançar algumas luzes sobre este enigmático canto da Europa, descrever as idiossincrasias que tornam único este adorável e, por vezes, exasperante país e procurar explicações, fazendo o levantamento do caminho histórico que levou os portugueses até onde estão hoje.», avança o autor na nota prévia da obra.
Paralelamente, a construção da identidade de Portugal enquanto povo e os vários estereótipos que (ainda) reinam além fronteiras são abordados e apresentados através de episódios vividos pelo autor ou por pessoas que lhe são próximas. De leitura obrigatória para todos quantos desconhecem a verdadeira alma lusa, portugueses ou não, "Os Portugueses" é uma obra obrigatória, escrita de forma apaixonada por um dos correspondentes mais antigos da imprensa internacional no nosso país.
Barry Hatton vive em Portugal há quase 25 anos. Correspondente da Associated Press em Portugal, o jornalista britânico revela no livro Os Portugueses aquilo que somos enquanto país e enquanto povo. Pelo menos aos olhos dos estrangeiros.
