The growing questioning of the loss of the military institution as a means of educational viability and the relevance of its role in the symbolism and incarnation of homeland values, led me to consider writing this book so that society can better inquire.
The book — a fictional novel, can bring to the reader a little bit of the intramural of the Mandatory Military Service and its legitimacy. The narrative accompanies a young recruit throughout the routine existing in the Brazilian Army Soldier Training Course. His reading is stimulated and timely; after all, a very tiny part of society shares this experience. Of full of 4% of the population that is in this requirement due to age, only 25% of these are called to the selection process; and of this percentage, a measly 5% will live from the practical reality. The closeness of this literary essay is tangible because the writer has been in the ranks of the Army in two different situations: as a student and as an instructor.
Those millions of young people who receive their reservist without, however, having served, will know about this situation in the book, and thus will be able to prove the relevance of what it is to be reservist. An immensity of young people inhabit this situation, and logic points out that many others will live it.
Enjoy it.
