A volume in the publisher's United Nations Series of country-specific monographs. A bevy of experts weigh in on all aspects of Brazil: Politics, economics and social history; science; arts and literature; industry, commerce, recent WWII economic conditions, etc. Of note, a section is devoted to diplomatic relations, with an emphasis on European emigration. While the timing of the book's preparation likely precluded coverage of the influx of post-WWII Nazis, it would certainly provide the circumstances by which that trend was made possible.

The uncredited dust jacket illustration is a vibrant foray into modern design, utilizing a mere three-color palette to deliver a striking, spare landscape. Dust jacket is now housed in a removable, clear archival sleeve.
