70s09. ‘The White Axis’

In July 1973 Portuguese dictator Marcelo Caetano visited London to mark the 600th anniversary of the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance. This leaflet called for an end to British support for the ‘unholy alliance’ of Portugal, South Africa and Rhodesia. The AAM joined with other groups to organise a 12,000-strong march through central London on 15 July to protest against Caetano’s visit.
