25 April 1974, Lisbon. Over the course of a single day, Europe's oldest fascist regime falls. On its 50th anniversary, this is the story of the revolution that changed Portugal forever. 'The Carnation Revolution reads like a political thriller.'�The TimesOn the night of 24 April 1974, at five minutes to eleven, a Lisbon radio station broadcasts Portugal's Eurovision entry. By 6.20 p.m. the next day, Europe's oldest fascist regime has fallen. Hardly a shot has been fired. As citizens pour into the streets, they offer carnations to the revolutionary soldiers. For the first time in forty-eight years, Portugal is free. The Carnation Revolution winds through the streets of Lisbon as the revolution unfolds, revealing the myriad acts of ordinary and extraordinary resistance that made 25 April possible. It's the story of daring escapes from five-storey prisons, soldiers disobeying their officers' orders and simple acts of courage by thousands of citizens. It's the story of how a group of young captains felled a globe-spanning empire. ***'I feel like I've been waiting three decades for precisely this book.'

Excellent Running Shoe
Size: 11, Color: Black/University Red/White
The Nike Quest 6 has been a great fit right out of the box. The sizing felt true, and the shoe wrapped comfortably without feeling tight or loose. It was easy to get a secure, natural fit from the first wear. Quality is solid for everyday use. The materials feel well put together, and the shoe holds up nicely for walking and light running. It feels dependable and comfortable for regular wear. What really stood out was the value. The price was much better than what I saw in retail stores, especially for a Nike shoe that performs this well. It’s an easy way to get a reliable running shoe without paying full store pricing. Overall, it’s a comfortable, well-made shoe that delivers a lot for the cost.

So comfy
Solid solid solid shoe. The value for the money you spend is quick to be noticed. Working in a dental office, I’m on my feet a lot and all of these brands who say they were made by nurses blah blah blah are liars. These were finally the shoes that didn’t make my ankles or feet sore. They take shock absorption so smoothly, and allow me to feel supported and comfortable. Wearing them all day isn’t a chore and honestly made me realize I was less grumpy because I was much more comfortable
