Canudos: The Struggle for the Land by Edmundo Moniz

A gripping historical account of the Canudos War, a pivotal conflict in Brazil's history

In the late 19th century, a charismatic religious leader named Antônio Conselheiro gathered a group of followers in the remote sertão region of northeastern Brazil. This community, known as Canudos, quickly grew into a thriving town, attracting thousands of people seeking refuge from poverty, oppression, and religious persecution.

The Brazilian government, fearing the growing power of Canudos, sent a series of military expeditions to destroy the settlement. These expeditions were met with fierce resistance from the Canudos residents, who fought bravely to defend their homes and their way of life.

The Canudos War lasted for over a year and resulted in the deaths of thousands of people. In the end, the Brazilian government was victorious, but the Canudos community was destroyed and its leaders were killed.
