Review Quotes




Publishers Weekly
"Lochery tells the gripping story of the city known as 'Casablanca II'...engrossing and rewarding."

Booklist, September 20, 2011"Lochery recounts wartime happenings in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, where the Allies and the Axis conducted the war through espionage, propaganda, and diplomatic pressure on Salazar to relinquish Portugal's neutrality. A cloak-and-dagger atmosphere accordingly suffuses Lochery's account.... A productive archival sleuth, [he] makes original contributions to the literature of neutrality in WWII." Shelf Awareness"A lively, accessible and hair-raising history revealing every sordid detail of Lisbon during World War II--a time and place that many have chosen to forget in order to save face." Wall Street Journal"Evocative.... [Lochery] skillfully documents the experiences of the rich and glamorous as well as the less fortunate and even sinister of the city's war time arrivals... Distilling an enormous quantity of research, he has rendered a fascinating and readable account of this small country's role in World War II, protected, as it was, by its wily champion." Seattle Times

"'Lisbon' is a valuable source of information about an astonishing time and place." Columbia Daily Newsfeatured in roundup of history books: "A fascinating account of one of the back stages of the War. Lisbon was a hotbed of intrigue and espionage while remaining neutral as the world fought around it."\ Macleans"Like Casablanca, only 20 times more."
Express Milwaukee
"Fascinating." The Scotsman, four-star review"Intrigue, betrayal, opportunism and double dealing' Lochery promises us - and his engrossing book delivers all those things and more."

Literary Review
The twists and turns of Salazar's tight-rope diplomacy form the central thread of Neill Lochery's impressive account of wartime Lisbon and its leader... The personalities, plots and counterplots within that tale are absorbing... The book's principal worth lies in its illumination of Salazar, who emerges from Lochery's pages as a fascinating, tireless and single-minded figure.
