The War of Memory

The Brazilian Military Dictatorship according to Militants and Military Men

João Roberto Martins Filho

Federal University of São Carlos

Since the mid-1970s, a number of testimonial narratives have contributed to the literature on the Brazilian military regime. These works, representing both the military and the Brazilian left, carry on the political struggles of the period (1964—1984). Through the dynamics of their publication, a tense dialogue has been established. A comparison of the memoirs of leftist militants with those of military men reveals that the practice of torture continues to be a source of apparently unending discord between the two sides.

Key Words: Brazilian armed forces • Military dictatorship • Torture • Human rights • Brazilian left
