“McCann’s book will find its place among the classics on traditional military history about two ‘unbalanced giants’ from the 1920s to the 1950s and their brotherhood in arms. It offers new insights for those historians who are not familiar with McCann’s oeuvre or the Brazilian history of the 20th century.” (Ursula Prutsch, Revista Iberoamericana, Vol. 20 (73), 2020)
“Nearly fifty years after the publication of the classic Brazilian-American Alliance, 1937–1945, Frank D. McCann deepens our knowledge of the subject with new sources and abundant bibliography. This book reveals an alliance that was rife with distrust and yet ultimately victorious, whose importance in World War II is little known.” (Francisco C. A. Ferraz, Professor of History, Universidade Estadual de Londrina, Paraná, Brazil)“A beautifully researched and engaging study, it offers a detailed account of diplomatic and military negotiations between the two nations and makes important corrections to the record. McCann is an exceptional storyteller and this is a story of wartime not to be missed.” (Darlene J. Sadlier, Professor Emerita, Indiana University-Bloomington, USA)
“Frank D. McCann’s research and writing are first-rate. This work will be the authoritative text on the subject for the foreseeable future.” (W. Michael Weis, Professor of History, Illinois Wesleyan University, USA)
