EXTERMINE O INIMIGO
A criação e manutenção de forças blindadas para fins militares envolve considerável montante de recursos financeiros, materiais e humanos. O uso de blindados nos campos de batalha só poderá ser eficaz se houver estreita coordenação com outras unidades militares, implicando na aquisição de experiência que somente o combate real, ou extensos períodos de treinamento, podem proporcionar. Este livro se dedica a examinar o período formativo da primeira divisão blindada brasileira à época da Segunda Guerra Mundial e, simultaneamente, o emprego em combate nos campos de batalha da Campanha da Itália do Esquadrão de Cavalaria da Força Expedicionária Brasileira, única unidade de blindados brasileiros a lutar naquele conflito. No entendimento de ambos fenômenos são analisados e interpretados aspectos como a motorização do Exército Brasileiro, a natureza da aliança militar firmada entre Brasil e Estados Unidos da América e a mudança tecnológica que afetou o desenvolvimento desse tipo de armamento.
The Nazi Party and the German Communities Abroad
The Nazi Party and the German Communities Abroad examines the German Nazi Party’s actions around the world in the 1930s and 1940s. The book particularly focuses in on the formation and development of the Auslandsorganization der NSDAP (AO) (Nazi Party/Foreign Organization), the party branch charged with the task of connecting with foreign fascist movements and, especially with Germans living abroad. The authors follow the creation of the AO and its development in Germany, along with its actions throughout the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa and North America, before finally focusing on Latin America. The Latin American case is then presented in both general and particular aspects, including countries such as Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. The study draws on many primary sources and is extensively referenced; an index with 700 references related to the action of Nazism in the American continent is presented, including the American and Canadian cases. This volume will be of interest to researchers of the history of Nazism and Latin America.

Exactly how did Curibita achieve this success? Which policies and programs were effective and which ones weren't? What roles did the public play in the transformation process? Using interviews with urban planners, politicians, scholars, and residents, and analyzing hundreds of polic...
