Antonio Salazar was the leader of Portugal from 1932 until 1968. Though a conservative dictator, Salazar was suspicious of the populist and fascist tactics used by contemporaries Hitler and Mussolini, instead opting to build a highly effective non-political state. The relatively benign dictatorship that Salazar created, together with the instability of the democracy that has taken its place, means his legacy is hotly disputed within Portugal. My guest for this conversation is Professor Tom Gallagher, professor emeritus at the University of Bradford and author of Salazar: the dictator who refused to die. Find him on Twitter: @cultfree54
