A Batalha de Monte Castelo : nas memórias de três pracinhas

Abstract

This work has as its central theme the participation of Brazil in the Second World War. Its specific objective is to analyze the memories of three little people about the Battle of Monte Castello. To this end, it will use books with memories about and rememoradas experiences. Thus, the books chosen for this work are The Third Battalion the Lapa Azul, written by Agostinho José Rodrigues (1976); the book Quebra Canela, written by General Raul da Cruz Lima Junior (1982), and the book Memórias: Marechal J.B. Mascarenhas de Moraes, autobiographical by Marshal Mascarenhas de Moraes (1984). The books were chosen because they present different perspectives, mainly due to the look of commander Mascarenhas Moraes, in opposition to the memories of two subordinates, low-ranking officers, raul da Cruz Lima Junior and Agostinho José Rodrigues. To carry out the study, we will use bibliographic research and conceptions about the concept of . memory of Jacques Le Goff, Michael Pollak and Stephen E. Ambrose. Due to the limits of the article, we do not deal with all the contents contained in the three chosen books. But we analyze the following themes recalled by the authors about the Battle of Monte Castello: battles, German artillery, winter and death.
