Book Review
Sadists in Their Midst
1990
Overview
It is discovered that after torturing their prisoners, Brazilian soldiers had, with some regularity, forced them before sham military tribunals, where the victims' protests against their inhumane treatment were legalistically recorded by stenographers. The files eventually provided enough shameful particulars to fill a book called ''Brasil: Nunca Mais'' (published in English as ''Torture in Brazil''), graphically detailing the vicious punishments, agonizing inmate stories, names of tormentors and torture sites. Published in 1985, during Brazil's free elections, it became the biggest nonfiction best seller in the nation's history - but caused scant change.
