Os americanos, considerados bons mas essencialmente, ingênuos como Churchill, Aron e muitos europeus acreditavam que fossem, sempre acharam, pelo menos a partir de 1917, que o mundo girava em função do que Washington e Wall Street desejavam.
Quando um general corrupto foi derrotado por um líder comunista na China, eles ficaram procurando culpados, entre eles, no Departamento de Estado, um dos objetos preferidos de persguição do Senador McCarthy, que achava que os diplomatas eram todos comunistas enrustidos.
Pois bem, a Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training faz um excelente trabalho de história oral.
Ela agora oferece depoimentos sobre a partida dos americanos da China, que foram junto com o general corrupto para Taiwan, e ali ficaram pelos 20 anos seguintes, até um presidente corrupto, mas esperto, aquele escroque do Nixon, resolveu acabar com a fantasia.
Pouco depois, o nosso general Geisel resolveu reconhecer a China comunista, e com isso despertou a fúria do nosso McCarthy, o general Sylvio Frota, que quase acaba "demitindo" o Geisel da presidência.
Onde está a nossa história oral sobre isso?
Bem, existem depoimentos de Geisel e de Silveirinha ao Cpdoc. Mas eles contaram tudo? Provavelmente não...
Falta, ao Itamaraty, um programa de história oral.

The decision to close an embassy and order departure of diplomatic personnel is a signal of last resort that bilateral relations are damaged and unlikely to improve soon. This occurred in China when Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist Party fled the capital and retreated to Taiwan on December 8, 1949 in the wake of Mao Zedong’s establishment […]

Born into a humble farming family on July 6, 1935, Lhamo Dhondup (Tenzin Gyatso), had subtle beginnings before he became the leader of an entire people. After the thirteenth Dalai Lama’s passing, the high lamas searched for his next reincarnation among the Tibetan people. Tibetan Buddhists monks journeyed to a small village and found a […]

O Governo Goulart tinha deixado de funcionar meses antes do golpe de 1964 - Depoimento de um observador
Recomendo a todos os interessados na historia das relações do Brasil com os Estados Unidos a leitura dos muitos depoimentos recolhidos no programa de história oral da:
The more than 1800 oral histories completed over the past quarter century
stem from the contributions of many individuals who gladly provided their
expertise and numerous insights regarding U.S. diplomatic history and several
others who selflessly volunteered their time to help edit the interviews. If
you would like to volunteer to be interviewed or help with the interview and
editing process, please complete this form.
Selecionei aqui o depoimento de um observador do golpe de 1964, a posteriori:
As far as I could see, from my commercial point of view, that government [isto é, o de Goulart] ceased to exist about four or five months before the revolution. We, in the embassy, going to the Foreign Office to explain positions, and trying to seek agreements on things, found we were talking to people who were shell-shocked by what was happening in Brazil, and could not make decisions. Government decisions were being made by Joao Goulart in public squares without any preparation of his own bureaucracy. There was nobody to make any kind of decisions in the country except these pronouncements in public squares.
Pois é, a história é sempre um pouco diferente daquela que andam contando por aí.
Mas como a própria ADST diz, em seu moto símbolo:
“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” — William Faulkner
The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training (ADST) is an independent nonprofit organization founded in 1986. Located at the State Department’s George P. Shultz National Foreign Affairs Training Center in Arlington, Virginia, ADST advances understanding of American diplomacy and supports training of foreign affairs personnel through a variety of programs and activities.
Over the past quarter century ADST has conducted more than 1800 oral histories, which are also posted on the Library of Congress website, with more to come. Interviewees include such fascinating people as Prudence Bushnell, who describes her harrowing experiences during the bombing of U.S. Embassy Nairobi, Julia Child, Philip Habib, Dean Rusk, George Ball, Kathleen Turner, and many others. Excerpts from our oral history collections highlight the horrifying, the thought-provoking, and the absurd. In other words, they reflect the reality of diplomacy, warts and all.
