Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the historical record of Major Carlos Pedro Barahona e Costa, a Portuguese officer and colonial administrator who played a crucial role in suppressing local uprisings, expanding colonial boundaries, and strengthening diplomatic ties in Africa during the late 19th century. Drawing on official correspondence, reports, and other primary sources, the author challenges and corrects previous accounts that have unfairly diminished the significance of Barahona e Costa's contributions. The book sheds light on the complex political and military strategies employed by the Portuguese colonial administration in Africa and highlights the valor and diplomatic skill of a man who dedicated his life to serving his country in challenging and often dangerous circumstances. Through its detailed examination of archival materials, this book provides a valuable contribution to the historiography of Portuguese colonialism in Africa, offering a more nuanced and accurate understanding of the motivations, strategies, and outcomes of Portuguese colonial expansion and administration during this period.
