Unreferenced date February 2008 The War of the End of the World lang es La guerra del fin del mundo is a 1981 in literature 1981 novel written by Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa . It is a novelization of the War of Canudos conflict in late 19th century Brazil . Plot summary In the midst of the economic decline following drought and the end of slavery in the province of Bahia in Northeastern Brazil, the poor of the backlands are attracted by the charismatic figure and simple religious teachings of Antonio Conselheiro , the Counselor, who preaches that the end of the world is imminent and that the political chaos that surrounds the collapse of the Empire of Brazil and its replacement by a republic is the work of the devil. Seizing a hacienda in an area blighted by economic decline at Canudos the Counselor s followers build a large town and defeat repeated and ever larger military expeditions designed to remove them. As the state s violence against them increases they too turn increasingly violent, even seizing the modern weapons deployed against them. In an epic final clash a whole army is sent to extirpate Canudos and instigates a terrible and brutal battle with the poor while politicians of the old order see their world destroyed in the conflagration. Analysis It is generally believed that Vargas Llosa s three milestone novels are La Ciudad y Los Perros The Time of the Hero , La Casa Verde The Green House and Conversaci n en la Catedral Conversation in the Cathedral , though many critics agree that The War of the End of the World should also be included among these three.

Unsurpisingly, disagreements have arisen over what interpretation is correct , and this article attempts to chronicle them below Canada Canada deployed trained historians to Canadian Military Headquarters in the United Kingdom during the war, and paid much attention to the chronicling of the conflict, not only in the words of the official historians of the Army Historical Section, but also through art and trained painters. The official history of the Canadian Army was undertaken after the war, with an interim draft published in 1948 and three volumes in the 1950s. This was in comparison to the First WorldWar s official history, only 1 volume of which was completed by 1939, and the full text only released after a change in authors some 40 years after the fact. Official histories of the RCAF and RCN in the Second WorldWar were also a long time coming, and the book Arms, Men and Government by Charles Stacey one of the main contributors to the Army history was published in the 1980s as an official history of the war policies of the Canadian government.
