Citation for events during the Carnation Revolution
"All his troops volunteered, and they left in military convoy for Lisbon about 60 km away, arriving at the government quarter at about 6am. The regime quickly tried to mobilise pro-government forces to defend them, but Maia persuaded them to join the revolution. A further attempt to place the revolutionary forces under naval bombardment was defeated after an onboard mutiny (and a threat to use artillery against the ship). Ministers fled the government quarters and retired to a barracks, where Maia's forces surrounded them and opened fire to show they were serious about their mission. Maia eventually arranged for the Prime Minister to surrender to General Spinola, and led the imprisoned former government away to chants of "Vitória!" from assembled crowds."

I like this bit of text but I think we'd need a citation for it. That "all his troops volunteered" I've been able to verify by listening to Salgueiro Maia say it himself in the interview As últimas palavras de Salgueiro Maia (available, for example, on YouTube), but the rest I have not been able.
