AUTHOR

Dulles, John W. F.

SUMMARY

Journalist and spectacularly successful governor, Carlos Lacerda was Brazil' foremost orator in this century and its most controversial politician. He might have become president in the 1960s had not the military taken over.In the first volume, John F. W. Dulles paints a portrait of a rebellious youth, who had the willfulness of his prominent father and who crusaded for Communism before becoming its most outspoken foe. Recalling Lacerda' rallying cry, "Brazil must be shaken up," Dulles traces the career of the journalist whose unsparing attacks on the men in power led authorities to imprison him and employ thugs who pummeled him physically. Lacerda' spirited oratory helped him become Brazil' most popular congressman, but it scared the rulers of Brazil, who prohibited the broadcast of his speeches after he returned from exile in 1956. Their effort to deprive him of his mandate stirred the entire nation and culminated in one of the most dramatic sessions ever held in the Chamber of Deputies.Dulles, John W. F. is the author of 'Carlos Lacerda, Brazilian Crusader The Years, 1914-1960' with ISBN 9780292711259 and ISBN 0292711255.
