Dennis Redmont features in Visão História the Portuguese monthly, an article on Portugal in the 1960s. Portugal was no place to be for a journalist under the rule of António de Oliveira Salazar. A stifling censorship regime was in place, which targeted first and foremost journalists, both Portuguese or foreigners. It was so widespread that the only way to learn about what was occurring in the country was to read foreign newspapers. What is more, PIDE, the Portuguese Secret Political Police, not only prevented news from being printed but actively pursued foreign correspondents in an attempt to chase them out of the country or silence them.
