Brazil Since 1964: Modernisation Under a Military Régime. Georges-André Fiechter. New York: Halsted Press, 1975, 310 pp.$30.00
The author of this scholarly interdisciplinary analysis of the efforts of the military regimes to promote human and economic welfare provides a significant answer to a basic question: "Would a liberal régime really have been incapable of achieving the same results in eight years? More and more Brazilians seem inclined to think so."

Georges married Françoise Claude FOREST on 12 Apr 1955 in Aix-Les-Bains, Savoie, France. (Françoise Claude FOREST was born on 1 Feb 1934 and died in 1994 in Lausanne, Switzerland.)
