The history of Brazil in the two world wars - by Mary Del Priore and Carlos Daróz

Brazil was the only nation in South America to send contingents to both world wars. This book allows the reader to go beyond the general outlines in which Brazilian participation in the two major world conflicts are described and observe from a privileged position what was happening in the trench, on the ship, in the barracks. The work fills a gap still felt in the bibliography relating to the subject, covering rarely explored angles of Brazilian involvement in the two wars, such as geopolitics, the economy, espionage, the development of military institutions and the daily lives of soldiers in the heat of battle.
