Open Access Unrestricted online access star

Durant les ann�es de plomb (1968-1974), la France a envoy� ses plus grands sp�cialistes du renseignement au Br�sil. Issus d'horizons politiques divers, ces hommes ont assur� le transfert des doctrines coloniales de l'arm�e fran�aise vers l'arm�e br�silienne et ont cr�� des d�bouch�s pour les industries fran�aises reconstitu�es dans l'apr�s Seconde Guerre mondiale. En moins de vingt ans, l'arm�e fran�aise a enti�rement remodel� la perception que les militaires br�siliens avaient de leur r�le. La technologie export�e n'�tait pas uniquement mat�rielle, mais aussi politique. Elle a permis la construction d'un nouvel �difice militaire, fond� sur le principe de la guerre anti�subversive, l'action des services de renseignement et l'h�g�monie des groupes industriels li�s � l'armement. La France a ainsi largement contribu� � l'autonomie strat�gique de l'arm�e br�silienne, constituant un contrepoids certain � la pr�sence des �tats-Unis. � partir de nombreux documents d'archives, cet ouvrage a pour ambition de comprendre la mani�re dont ces liens particuliers entre militaires fran�ais et br�siliens ont �t� construits.

During the military dictatorship of 1968-1974, France sent its top intelligence specialists to Brazil. Coming from a variety of political backgrounds, these men ensured the transfer of the French army's colonial doctrines to the Brazilian army and created opportunities for the French industries that were reconstituted in the aftermath of the Second World War. In less than twenty years, the French army completely reshaped the Brazilian military's perception of its role. The technology exported was not just material, but also political. It enabled the construction of a new military system, based on the principle of anti-subversive warfare, the action of intelligence services and the hegemony of industrial groups linked to armaments. As a result, France made a significant contribution to the strategic autonomy of the Brazilian army, providing a significant alternative to the presence of the United States. Using a large number of archive documents, this book seeks to understand how these special links between the French and Brazilian militaries were built.
