ABSTRACT
This paper examines the perceptions and interpretations of advisers to the Brazilian Army Minister contained in a set of reports on the Anglo-Argentine military conflict in the South Atlantic, which occurred between April and June 1982. It focuses on three topics related to the conflict: the West-West perspective, the Latin American dimension, and the implications of the change in political regime in Argentina as a result of defeat. This interpretation suggests that academic research with military documents is particularly useful when dealing with the subjects of security and defense.
