Coward's Manual

Dilma Rousseff's impeachment, the post-impeachment period, and the circus of charlatans that hijacked Brazil.

In "Manual do Covarde" (The Coward's Manual ), journalist Guilherme Fiuza offers a sharp and well-documented critique, yet laced with humor, of the period following the Workers' Party's presidency, a period marked by corruption. Taking Dilma Rousseff's impeachment as a starting point, the book delves into Operation Car Wash and continues through Lula's arrest in April 2018.

In this chronicle of the false political awakening in Brazil and around the world—a kind of politically correct fair—Fiuza reveals the modus operandi of those he considers cowards: characters who feign altruism to obtain personal gain, and who are present in all spheres of society, not just politics.

With his acid humor and using expressions like "stealing from the poor to give to the defenders of the poor", the author demonstrates that it is very effective to treat as heroes those he considers false heroes: thus, the falseness and ridiculousness of each of them becomes more evident.

The greater the mockery of the impostors, the greater the author's sarcasm in tearing away their solemn disguises. A highlight is the thriller about the conspiracy between an attorney general and a cowboy, with the blessing of the Supreme Court and part of the press, which Fiuza pointed out knowing the price to pay.

From Lula to Bono Vox, from Maduro to the Pope, from the Supreme Federal Court to Brazilian Popular Music (MPB), from the Workers' Party to Hollywood, in Manual do Covarde (Coward's Manual), Guilherme Fiuza has written for you the best farces of the 21st century. Learn from those who do it.
