A must-read for anybody interested in knowingBrazil

"Brazil in Focus" gives a synthesized, yet complete overview of Brazil's history, politics, society and economy. Anybody travelling through, or planning to live in Brazil would benefit greatly by reading this book, as it will help the reader understand why Brazil is what it is today, and why Brazilians act the way they do. The travel helps section, tacked onto the end of the book in five short pages, is inadequate.Jim D. Leonard, Missionary, President of Cariri Baptist Bible College Crato, CE BRAZIL
