Books by Leith Passmore

From 1973 to 1990 in Chile, approximately 370,000 young men were conscripted to serve in Augusto Pinochet's regime. Some were brutal enforcers, but many themselves endured physical and psychological abuse. Relying on unpublished material, interviews, and field notes, Passmore locates these individuals' narratives at the intersection of long-term histories of patriotism, masculinity, and poverty.
