Research in Portugal, 1990–1991
Dr. Manuel spent the academic year in Coimbra, where his dissertation research for Georgetown took shape, and traveled to Lisbon for the interviews, staying in the apartment of his friend Joaquim Costa during his visits to the capital. Photographs of the officers he interviewed, taken between December 1990 and April 1991, are on The Captains of April 25 page.
In March 1991 he traveled by train from Coimbra to a Fulbright conference in Berlin, stopping overnight in Paris in each direction to research the revolution at the library of the Institut d’Études Politiques, where he had studied in 1979–1980.
