1. 1. Getúlio 1930 1945

   

   A meticulously researched portrait of the years 1930–1945 that traces a leader’s rise from the 1930 revolution through constitutional experiment and the 1937 Estado Novo dictatorship to his 1945 fall, showing how authoritarian rule coexisted with ambitious social and economic modernization—labor laws, state-led industrialization and mass politics—while political repression, censorship and opportunistic maneuvering shaped his contested legacy.

2. 2. Getúlio 1945 1954

   

   A sweeping, meticulously researched account of the tumultuous decade after 1945 that traces the former leader’s fall from power, his political maneuvers and electoral comeback, and the fraught second presidency (1951–1954) — detailing policy achievements for labor and industrialization, the fierce opposition from military and conservative sectors, intense press campaigns, and the spiral of crises that culminated in his suicide; the work uses archival evidence and contemporary sources to portray both the mass popular appeal and the private dilemmas that shaped Brazil’s mid‑century political turning point.

3. 3. Padre Cícero

   

   A compact biography that traces the rise of a humble northeastern priest into a controversial, charismatic leader whose alleged miracles, social interventions and political influence transformed Juazeiro do Norte and reshaped popular religiosity in Brazil’s sertão; the book balances archival research and narrative detail to separate myth from history, showing how devotion, regional crisis, local power networks and conflict with Church authorities produced a complex legacy of social welfare, clientelist politics and enduring popular veneration.
