Brazil by Neill Lochery
An acclaimed historian unravels Brazil's deft geopolitical machinations during World War II, showing how the country became a modern nation by first manipulating, then joining, the Allied powers.
"Well-focused look at the authoritarian rule of charismatic Brazilian president Getulio Vargas.. Colorful personalities and tricky maneuvers make for a lively drama." --Kirkus Reviews "[A] revealing political history... Lochery delivers a vivid picture of the Byzantine mid-20th-century politics in this increasingly important yet chronically overlooked nation." --Publishers Weekly
