?[i]n the works discussed herein. As a corpus these works are
significant because they raise questions for future students of
military-civilian relations...Such contrasts and comparisons make
this body of work historiographically noteworthy as well...Each is
a refreshing corrective to national versions that extolled the
virtues of things matial, made nationalistic claims, and doted on
the technicalities of military history, all the while ignoring the
ugly side of war and its aftermath...Smallman's Fear and Memory
confirms this on a case-study level. Centeno's and Smallman's works
complement each other neatly, as do Vale's, Whigham's, and
Farcau's; and Brahm's, Rauch's, Arancibia's, and Sater's and
Herwig's. _?-Latin American Review
