The Grand Illusion
The Grand Illusion analyzes the impact of European military institutions on Hispanic America in general and examines the putative Prussianization of the Chilean army in particular. The authors focus on Chile's attempt to import and assimilate foreign military methods, doctrine, and materiel. They incorporate research from Chilean, Austrian, German, British, and American archives to offer a new interpretation of Chile's military reforms. The autho…
For la Patria
Drawing largely on secondary sources, Brian Loveman has written a careful history of Latin American militaries and their involvement in civilian affairs. His work is impressive for its breadth. Loveman begins with the origins of the military’s self-perception in the reconquista and the colonial period, and then uses nationalism and nation building as unifying concepts to show how the military adapted its old ideals to the nineteenth century.

Shady Business
An enduring paradox lies at the heart of Brazilian politics. The Brazilian Army has long suffered from corruption at the highest levels so extreme as to create disquiet throughout the institution. Yet the Brazilian military, like other armed forces in Latin America, has justified its involvement in politics and society by accusing civilians of corruption. Despite repeated revelations of military corruption, soldiers and civilians as well have som…
