::for US Secretary of State (1953–59), see John Foster Dulles John Watson Foster Dulles (Auburn, New York, May 20, 1913 – June 3, 2008, Austin) was a Brazilian history scholar. == Biography == Born in Auburn, New York 1913, John W.F. Dulles was the son of the former Secretary of State of the United States of America, John Foster Dulles. In 1935 he graduated in philosophy from Princeton University. He received a master's degree in business administration from Harvard University in 1937 and then joined the Bank of New York, where his father was a director.〔http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/27/AR2008062703642.html〕 He worked in a New York mining company where he was sent to Arizona where he received a bachelor's degree in metallurgy from the University of Arizona's School of Mines and Metallurgy in 1943. In 1959 he moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to fix an unprofitable mine in the State of Minas Gerais. The task proved too difficult due to the political turbulence at the time and so he moved in 1962 to Texas to become a professor of Latin American studies at the University of Texas as well as the University of Arizona. His first book, published in 1962, ''Yesterday in Mexico: A Chronicle of the Revolution, 1919–1936'', was the result of conversations with the Mexican president Adolfo Ruiz Cortines. Later on he dedicated himself to the study of Brazilian history, starting with the study about former president Getúlio Vargas, entitled ''Vargas of Brazil: a political biography'' in 1967. His works were criticized for having too much description and too little analytic, as well as for not mentioning his part and of his company in the political articulations during the João Goulart government.〔CARRIJO, Maicon Vinícius da Silva.
