  Brazil is the fifth-largest country in the world, both in terms of land area and population. Its geographical diversity is staggering, stretching across the continent of South America and featuring a wide range of ecosystems, from the vast Amazon rainforest to the arid Sertão of the Northeast. The country’s geography is a crucial part of its identity, influencing the development of its people, culture, and economy. From the dense forests and sprawling wetlands to the mountainous regions and extensive coastline, Brazil’s landforms have played a significant role in shaping its history and societal structure. 
  The Amazon rainforest, often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth," is perhaps the most famous of Brazil’s natural wonders. Covering roughly 60% of Brazil’s territory, the Amazon Basin is home to an immense variety of plant and animal species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. The region is not only rich in biodiversity but also plays a pivotal role in regulating the global climate. However, the Amazon has also faced threats over the years, including deforestation, land conversion for agriculture, and illegal mining, leading to ongoing debates over conservation and development. 
  Brazil’s coastline, stretching over 7,000 kilometers, is another defining feature of its geography. Major cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo sit along this coast, benefiting from access to international trade routes and abundant natural resources. The coastline also plays a crucial role in the cultural identity of the country, with Brazil’s famous beach culture, music, and cuisine often reflecting the coastal way of life. These cities and others in the coastal region became centers of economic activity during the colonial period and continue to be important hubs of commerce and industry.

  Long before their country officially joined the war, American aid workers were active in rescue efforts across Europe. Two such Americans were Martha and Waitstill Sharp, who were originally sent to Prague as part of a relief effort but turned immediately to helping Jews and dissidents after the 1939 invasion by Germany. 
   
   
   
  They were not the only ones. Renowned historian Debórah Dwork follows the story of rescue workers in five major cities as the refugee crisis expanded to Vilna, Shanghai, Marseille, and Lisbon. Followed by Nazi agents, spiriting people across borders, they learned secrecy. 
   
   
   
  Others negotiated with government representatives, like Laura Margolis, who worked with the Japanese, to get enough food and warm shelter for the refugees in Shanghai. Yet, the women also often faced lack of support from their agencies; if part of a couple, they fought to get paid even at a low salary despite working as long and hard as their husbands. 
   
   
   
  Moving and revelatory, Saints and Liars illuminates the unpredictable circumstances with which these aid workers contended, while revealing the moral questions they encountered and the devastating decisions they had to make.
