Vargas of Brazil

Dulles, John W.F., Vargas of Brazil: A Political Biography, Austin: University of Texas Press, 1967. hardcover

Review

From the book jacket:

The dominant public figure in Brazil from 1930 until 1954 was a highly contradictory and controversial personality. Getúlio Vargas, from the pampas of the southern frontier state of Rio Grande do Sul, became the dictator that ruled without ever forgetting the lower classes.

John W. F. Dulles, Professor of Latin American studies; son of former Secretary of State
