Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's dramatic life story has captured the
imagination of millions, and his progressive politics have brought
hope and excitement to Brazil - and the world. This compelling work
is the first major English-language biography of the metalworker
who became president of Latin America's largest and most powerful
country. In a clearly written, vividly detailed narrative, Richard
Bourne describes Lula's childhood hardships in an impoverished
family, his days as a revered trade unionist, and the strike
movement that brought down Brazil's military dictatorship. The book
chronicles Lula's campaigns for the presidency, his first term in
office beginning in 2002, a major corruption scandal, and his
re-election in 2006. Throughout, "Lula of Brazil" connects this
charismatic leader's life to larger issues, such as the difficulty
of maintaining a progressive policy in an era of globalization.
Brazil's contemporary history, parallels with other developing
countries and other world leaders, the conservatism of Brazilian
society, and other themes provide a rich backdrop for assessing the
struggles, achievements, and failures of this major figure on both
the Brazilian and the world stage.
