Title: Brasil, nunca mais
First published: 1986
Description: From 1964 until 1985, Brazil was ruled by a military regime that sanctioned the systematic use of torture in dealing with its political opponents. The catalog of what went on during that grim period was originally published in Portuguese as Brasil: Nunca Mais (Brazil: Never Again) in 1985.

The volume was based on the official documentation kept by the very military that perpetrated the horrific acts. These extensive documents include military court proceedings of actual trials, secretly photocopied by lawyers associated with the Catholic Church and analyzed by a team of researchers. Their daring project - known as BNM for Brasil: Nunca Mais - compiled more than 2,700 pages of testimony by political prisoners documenting close to three hundred forms of torture.
