A República Das Milícias by Bruno Paes Manso
Dos esquadrões da morte à era Bolsonaro
An investigative account tracing the rise of Rio de Janeiro’s militias from their roots in death squads to their consolidation as economic and political powers, showing how off-duty police and other security agents built protection rackets, seized control of services and real estate, and ruled neighborhoods through fear. It explores how the war on drugs, police corruption, local politics, and business interests normalized extortion and paramilitary governance. Blending reportage and analysis, it reveals how these groups captured electoral machines and parts of the state, shaping public security policy and national debate, with dire consequences for democracy and the daily lives of residents.
