And let the waves fall silent is the last volume of the trilogy devoted
to Chile from the 1940s to the 1970s by two comic book authors known in
particular for their mis en bulle of October 17, 1961. ---- They evoke a
little-known episode of the resistance to General Pinochet's coup
d'état, the constitutionalist sailors. To produce this work, they
collected the testimonies of several of them since the 1990s and the end
of the dictatorship. These young conscripts, from 1970, heard the
hostile speeches of the officers with regard to the social reforms
carried out in Chile. The authors skillfully interweave their stories,
the analysis of daily life and the way in which the men of the future
dictator distill their speech to obtain the complicity of the army and
consequently of the naval forces.
A few dozen of them refuse, these conscripts, often involved in social
and political movements, try by all means to alert public opinion, to
update the military's plans and to prevent the irreversible.
The military machine is unshakeable. They are reduced to silence and the
seizure of power takes place without them being able to oppose it.
This story offers a tragic reflection on the place of men in the
military machine.
And let the waves fall silent
Désirée and Alain Frappier
