Backed by Brazil’s wealthy agribusiness groups, a growing evangelical movement, and an emboldened military and police force, Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019. Driven by the former army captain’s brand of controversial, aggressive rhetoric, the divisive presidential campaign saw fake news and misinformation shared with Bolsonaro’s tens of millions of social media followers. Bolsonaro promised simple solutions to Brazil’s rising violent crime, falling living standards and widespread corruption, but what has emerged is Latin America's most right-wing president since the military dictatorships of the 1970s. Famous for his racist, homophobic and sexist beliefs and his disregard for human rights, the so-called ‘Trump of the Tropics’ has established a reputation based on his polemical, sensationalist statements. Written by a journalist with decades of experience in the field, Beef, Bible and Bullets is a compelling account of the origins of Brazil's unique brand of right-wing populism. Lapper offers the first major assessment of the Bolsonaro government and the growing tensions between extremist and moderate conservatives.

I never realized just how little I knew about not only the 'Trump of the tropics' but Brazil as a nation. Beyond the familiar images of carnivals and football etc. This audiobook gave me, I feel, a real insight forthe reasons for the rise of Bolsonaro beyond the superficial cause of corruption among the political elite.

Gained a greater awarness of just how diverse Brazil is not only in terms of ethnic backgrounds but the sheer size and scope of the economic activity and religious views etc. My only complaint is a minor one and that due to my ignorance of Portugese and I found it difficult to keep track of some of the individuals beyond Bolsonaro and Lula. Besides that I throughly enjoyed this audiobook

An enlightening and insightful audiook
