In this article, we will analyze the textbook History in Movement, in its second edition, in order to understand the way in which this material addresses the period referring to the Brazilian Civil-Military Dictatorship (1964-1985). To this end, we will begin by making a historical contextualization of the textbook in Brazil in the last decades, focusing on the National Textbook Program and its system of prior selection. In the analysis of the material we will find that there is still room for divergences in the narratives of the past, especially due to the references from which the authors prepared the textbook. From our references, we will bring another interpretation to the theme, reflecting the importance of not narrating the Civil-Military coup as a determinism, the impertinence of the division between supposedly “hardline” and “moderate” military to understand the period, and that the idea of “democracy” from the military was different from the democratic ideals of the opponents.
