'So often, there is a lack of context brought to news reporting of today's Brazil. Lapper masterfully brings us that necessary context, weaving first-hand accounts from primary sources together with a rigorous chronicle of the country's recent history and politics. One of the clearest pictures of Brazil in 2021 and how it got there. A must read for anyone covering Latin America.'Lucinda Elliott, journalist, The Times'Finally, a book that looks beyond easy narratives to explain the real reasons for Jair Bolsonaro's rise. One of the world's most knowledgeable experts on Brazil, Richard Lapper shows us not just the postcard image of Rio de Janeiro, but the country of Evangelical megachurches, cattle ranches, walled-off mansions and shopping malls that elected this total outsider. Beef, Bible and bullets is the best chronicle to date of how the "Trump of the Tropics" came to power.'Brian Winter, Editor-in-Chief, Americas Quarterly'This timely, well-researched book traces the cultural, economic and social roots of Brazil's modern political transformation that Jair Bolsonaro captured in his unexpected path to the presidency.

Synopsis
Backed by Brazil's wealthy agri-business groups, a growing evangelical movement, and an emboldened military and police force, Jair Bolsonaro took to 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 polemic, 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. One of the clearest pictures of Brazil in 2021 and how it got there. A must-read for anyone covering Latin America.' -- The Times ' Beef, Bible and Bullets is an engaging, thoughtful and timely book which leaves the reader anxious for the future of Brazil.' -- TLS 'Sweeping and refreshing.' -- Financial Times 'Gracefully tackles a perplexing conundrum.' -- Foreign Affairs, Beef, bible and bullets looks at the social, political and economic trends that brought a maverick right-wing populist to office in Latin America's largest economy., Backed by Brazil's wealthy agribusiness groups, a growing evangelical movement, and an emboldened military and police force, Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019.
