The Invasion And Occupation Of Goa In The World Press

The Invasion and Occupation of Goa in the World Press (1962) – The National Secretariate for Information, Lisbon
Proudly presented by Crappy Old Books – your source for obscure propaganda and faded diplomatic outrage.

Hot off the presses of 1962 Lisbon, this curiously indignant publication compiles international media coverage of India’s annexation of Goa—an event Portugal diplomatically referred to as an “invasion” and much of the world shrugged off as overdue decolonisation. Produced by the National Secretariate for Information (yes, that’s “Secretariate”), this is Cold War-era spin at its most dramatic, wrapped in bureaucratic prose and peppered with press clippings of varying incredulity.

A fascinating glimpse into Portugal’s attempt to win hearts, minds, and headlines—long after it had lost the territory. This edition? Slightly warped from years of political heat, but still legible enough to raise eyebrows and historical curiosity.

Crappy Old Books – For those who prefer their history with footnotes, frayed edges, and a faint scent of empire collapse.

Fair to good condition.
