Biographical excerpts of four military characters—“The Colonel,” “The Captain,” “The Marshal,” and “The Major”—become aligned with the unfolding of historical events described by people in the military and civilians, revolutionaries or legalists, who were actually present at the time. Episodes in Brazilian history are addressed in the book, such as the “Legality Campaign.” the “Ragamuffin (Farroupilha) Revolution,” the “Paraguay War,” the “Proclamation of the Republic,” the “Federalist Revolution,” the “Contested Territory Campaign,” and so on.
