Reviews
“Taking us beyond a recovery approach, this book is a significant intellectual contribution to the field of oral history. The profound value of Campos’s subtle interpretations of the veterans’ shame (and silences) is to critically challenge the reader to think beyond the victim/perpetrator binaries that dominate other post-war studies.” (Professor Sean Field, University of Cape Town, South Africa)
“Campos deals with a traumatic period in history and with its difficult memory in a sensitive, even-handed way, even though she does not feign an impossible ‘neutrality.’ Objectivity is something else, and this her work displays abundantly, both in her respectful attitude toward interviewees and her full and competent use of archival and printed sources.” (Professor Alessandro Portelli, University of Rome, Italy)
