The carnation and Grandola are the global pair. Salgueiro Maia is the captain face. Cabral is the African face English stories skip.

Debate
Was 25 November 1975 a counter-revolution or a save?
The live Portuguese argument; this page records both readings.
How gentle was it, really?
Lisbon yes; the colonial wars and Angola 1975 no. Both clocks.
Spinola is not a Portuguese Pinochet -- different project. Do not flatten 1970s officers.
Korea 1979 is the dark twin in this atlas, not a cousin to copy.
