Santa Maria: My Crusade For Portugal is a historical account written by Henrique Galvao, a Portuguese naval officer and politician, about his involvement in the Santa Maria hijacking in 1961. The book details the events leading up to the hijacking, including Galvao's disillusionment with the Salazar regime and his decision to form a group of anti-fascist exiles called the Portuguese National Liberation Front. Galvao and his group hijacked the Santa Maria, a Portuguese ocean liner, with the intention of drawing attention to the oppressive regime in Portugal and gaining support for their cause. The book provides a firsthand account of the hijacking, the negotiations that followed, and the eventual release of the passengers and crew. It also includes Galvao's reflections on his life as a revolutionary and his hopes for the future of Portugal. Overall, Santa Maria: My Crusade For Portugal is a gripping and insightful memoir that sheds light on a pivotal moment in Portuguese history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
