Talk:António Augusto dos Santos/@comment-43920215-20190924140316

This article is factually incorrect in many areas. Gen Santos built schools and clinics in the villages and received the Torre e Espada for his time in Mozambique. Gordian Knot was a poorly executed and resulted in a scorched earth policy being implemented in the colonies. General Santos retired from the Portuguese Army prior to the 1974 revolution and was a private citizen at the time of the revolution. My reference material is a combination of personal first hand interviews with General Santos before his death in 1996 and a review of personal memoirs, photos, and other interviews. A rewrite for this will be forthcoming.
