I remember reading a book at high school (30-odd years ago), the general theme revolved around a civil war, possibly Spanish or somewhere in South America.
I recall a line in it, along the lines of "Save the Junta bullets, shoot yourself".
Google hasn't found anything.
I tried ChatGPT and it also struggled but suggested it might be For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway.
Â
Does it sounds familiar to anyone? I remember enjoying the book, at a time when books didn't especially grab me and wouldn't mind revisiting it.
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao?
Edit: on second thoughts, that's only ~20 years old.

One of Louis de Bernierre's Latin American Trilogy? The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts, Senor Vivo & the Coca Lords, The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman
High school type book, set during the Spanish civil war, no idea if that line is in it For Whom the Bell Tolls - Wikipedia
Damn, just reread your post and realised that was already suggested by yourself 😏Â

Yes, I've no idea whether that's right or wrong though, so hoped someone may have better knowledge of it than me 🙂
So there are two books that kinda fit that detail and the fact it was in a school syllabus.
Talking in whispers would be my guess.

Or possibly... The Wave but thats not set in a country its set in a school but kind of explores the creation of a regime that kight reference a Junta.
From memory we read them back to back.

Apart from "junta" it sounds catch 22 ish.
Apparently it's "promise me you'll shoot yourself: the downfall of ordinary Germans, 1945" by Florian huber

The title of "Officially better than ChatGPT".

ChatGPT can't admit it knows every line in every book so it would never tell you which obscure quote came from which book.
That would be too much like admitting they stole every piece of work off every writer in history to train its models. Better to say, 'I'm not sure, maybe it's For Whom the Bell Tolls? And by the way, I was trained by magic pixies that were here transported from the future. Ethically transported, not like slave labour. How about that White genocide in South Africa, eh?'
