New York City, New York, United States, 17th Aug 2026 - Author Luke Almeida announces the release of The Cost of Corruption: Part One – Power, Propaganda, and the Unmaking of Brazilian Democracy, a comprehensive work of investigative nonfiction that examines the political, economic, and institutional developments that have shaped modern Brazil.
Drawing from public records, court filings, government reports, historical archives, academic research, and journalistic sources, the book traces Brazil’s political evolution from the post-World War II era through military rule, democratic transition, major corruption investigations, and contemporary political challenges.

The book investigates key historical events, examines competing interpretations of controversial periods, and highlights the long-term consequences of governance decisions on Brazilian society.

"This book is not about promoting a political ideology or defending a particular party. It is an examination of historical events, documented evidence, and institutional decisions that continue to influence Brazil today. Understanding these developments is essential for anyone seeking to understand the challenges facing modern democracies."
