A Word to the Reader

            In light of recent developments behind the Iron Curtain, the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) feels compelled once again to address the American public by presenting an analysis of world affairs written by the illustrious Prof. Plinio Correa de Oliveira, president of the Brazilian TFP‑one of our sister organizations. This work was recently published          the Brazilian TFP in Sao Paulo's Folha de Sâo Paulo, the city's largest newspaper.

            Having been published in Brazil, it is natural that one or another part of this analysis be

            exemplified by circumstances in Brazil that do not necessarily occur in other countries. Such is the case of the examples given on land reform and the media uproars against the Brazilian TFP in section V. However, this does not in any way diminish the international scope of this analysis.
