Review

"In response to the global turn in scholarship on colonial and early modern history, this book provides a fresh and much-needed perspective integrating metropolitan and colonial Portuguese histories. In fact, this analytical combination of national and imperial dimensions is totally original in the panorama of Portuguese histories where almost all the works available in English tend to concentrate exclusively on overseas expansion." -Diogo Ramada Curto, European University Institute, Florence and Universidade Nova de Lisboa

"Anthony Disney has provided in this impressive two-volume survey of the history of Portugal and its overseas empire to the beginning of the nineteenth century a work of synthesis that has long been needed. Up-to-date in its scholarship, lucid and coherent in its exposition, his account, skillfully blending narrative and analysis, will immediately take its place as the essential starting-point for all those interested in the origins and character of the first truly global empire in world history." -Sir John Elliott, Regius Professor Emeritus of Modern History, University of Oxford

"The history of the Portuguese world is barnacled with accretions: traditional errors, apparently ineradicable myths, partisan controversies, irrational passions. Anthony Disney has scraped the bottom and set the ship to rights. His book is sober but engaging, meticulous but well paced, comprehensive but concise: a monument of scholarship and discernment, which everyone interested in the subject will want to hand." -Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, Tufts University

"A remarkable achievement, combining rigour with lucidity and offering expert guidance across a complex and varied historical terrain." -Times Literary Supplement

"This book will apppeal to multiple readerships." -Journal of Modern History
