July, 1922. In the previous sections we told how civilian authorities imprisoned
Marshal Hermes da Fonseca, Head of the Army. In response, a group of young Army

Brazilian Jihad: Suicide Attack on Copacabana Beach
It is a well written article,narrating a part of our history in English,though the "Jihad" is the wrong word to be used in the title. As for as I know this word means "Holy War" and obviously the Rebellion was not a holy war.
Nevertheless, I would like to congratulate Dr.Addison Jump for researching all the arquives in Portuguese and writing the story in English for foreign readers in this site.I enjoyed reading it.
