| Summary |
"Political (In)Justice compares the legal aspects of political repression in three recent military regimes: Brazil (1964-1985), Chile (1973-1990), and Argentina (1976-1983). By focusing on political trials as a reflection of each regime's overall approach to the law, Anthony Pereira argues that the practice of each regime can be explained by examining the prior relationship between the judiciary and the military."--Jacket |
