Before he became an author, França was an aviator in the Brazilian Air Force until 1964 when he and some other pilots refused orders to bomb civilians where a rebellion was taking place. He wrote quite a few novels that were translated in many languages but this is one of only three available in English. He’s probably best known for a novel about Brazilian truckers, “The Long Haul.”
