Book excerpt: Cu o prefață a autorului la ediția româneascã Traducere de Adina Cobuz, Wilhelm Tauwinkl, Emanoil Marcu, Vlad Russo, Mariana Piroteală, Marieva-Cătălina Ionescu, Georgeta-Anca Ionescu și Elena Ciocoiu Carte recompensată cu Premiul Jan Michalski (Elveția, 2017) și Premiul Aujourd'hui (Franța, 2018) „Avem dictatura proletariatului, avem o putere care face uz de teroare.“ – Lenin „Nu s-a ucis la scară suficient de mare. Noi trebuie să ucidem, şi afirmăm că a ucide este un lucru bun.ׅ“ – Mao „Comunismul este conștiința vinovată mondială. Nici o altă ideologie, într-un interval de timp comparabil, nu a cucerit atât de multe țări, atât de multe minți și nu a distrus atâtea vieți omenești. Și tocmai omul se află în inima cărții mele. Nu inventez nimic în această istorie a comunismului, nu există dialoguri fabricate, toate situațiile despre care vorbesc sunt atestate, în general sunt cunoscute, nu sunt eu cel dintâi care le descoperă. Meritul meu, singurul pe care îl am în raport cu această narațiune, este acela de a fi adus laolaltă sute de elemente disparate, pentru a vedea lucrurile în ansamblu. Am vrut să-l iau pe cititor de mână și să-l însoțesc de-a lungul istoriei dramatice a comunismului. Sper că am reușit; în această carte există carne și viață.“ – Thierry Wolton „O întreprindere extraordinară. Thierry Wolton sfâșie vălul care încă acoperă crimele regimului comunist și sfidează imperativele care-au împiedicat condamnarea lui chiar din timpul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial.“ – Alain Besançon „Thierry Wolton propune o manieră inedită de a sublinia «caracterul universal malign» al ideii comuniste. Volumul 1 al trilogiei, al cărui subiect central sunt «călăii», arată cum, din URSS și până în Etiopia, fiecare generație de conducători preia de la precedenta metodele prin care «constrâng realitatea să se supună canoanelor utopiei», cu prețul exterminării unor populații întregi. Avem de-a face aici cu un sfâșietor și întunecat tablou al unei himere din care cu greu izbutim să ne desprindem.“ – Philosophie Magazine „N-ai cum să nu te-ntrebi, citind aceste pagini care valorează greutatea lor în sânge, cum de, în numele fericirii și al libertății, unii oameni au putut să dea dovadă, și încă în mod sistematic, de o asemenea cruzime față de alți oameni. După căderea Zidului Berlinului, după căderea regimurilor comuniste din Europa și implozia Uniunii Sovietice, ai crede că ne-am eliberat de «spectrul comunismului». Și totuși, în lipsa unei condamnări internaționale efective, nici crimele comunismului nu pot fi judecate în adevărata lor lumină.“ – Le Figaro
Download or read book Charles de Gaulle written by Andrew Knapp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new biography, Andrew Knapp concisely dissects each of the major controversies surrounding General Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French during the Second World War and President of France from 1959 to 1969. From the beginning of de Gaulle’s military career in 1909 to an analysis of legacies and myths after his death in 1970, this study examines the path by which the French came to honour him as the greatest Frenchman of all time, and as the twentieth century’s pre-eminent world statesman. In each chapter, Knapp analyses de Gaulle’s participation in key events such as the development of France’s resistance against Nazi Germany, the decolonisation of Algeria, the birth of the French Fifth Republic, and the gigantic upheaval of May 1968. Simultaneously, this study questions de Gaulle’s actions and motives throughout his life. By exploring the justification of the contemporary ‘de Gaulle myth’, Knapp concludes by shedding new light on the influence of de Gaulle in the political culture of twenty-first-century France. Through careful analysis of primary sources as well as recent scholarship, this biography is an invaluable source for scholars and students of modern history, the history of France, political institutions, and international relations.

Book excerpt: Étendue de la Baltique à l'océan Pacifique, voisine de l'Europe, du Grand Moyen-Orient et de la Chine, la Russie incarne « l'Eurasie ». Ce concept désormais central dans le discours géopolitique du Kremlin a une fonction polémologique. Alors qu'un arc de crise parcourt la «plus grande Méditerranée», Moyen-Orient compris, et que l'Arctique fait figure de nouveau front stratégique, le projet révisionniste russe consiste à retrouver un statut de puissance globale, à la mesure de son immensité et en opposition à l'Occident. Dans ce dictionnaire géopolitique complet et pédagogique, Jean-Sylvestre Mongrenier multiplie les perspectives sur la Russie et l'Eurasie postsoviétique en 550 entrées. Il propose une éclairante analyse des rapports de force et permet de comprendre les représentations géopolitiques à travers lesquelles les dirigeants russes pensent le monde pour y agir.
Download or read book Francs et Orientaux dans le monde des croisades written by Jean Richard and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This latest volume by Jean Richard is concerned with the evolution of the crusading movement and with the interaction between crusaders and indigenous peoples of the Near East. The articles look at changes in the concept of crusading, means of financing it, and forms of indulgence; at how the adoption of maritime transport created a need to control the sea, and how contacts with the Muslims could lead to peaceful means of resolving conflict and dealing with prisoners. In their lands in the east, the Latins accommodated the feudal structures they brought with them to local conditions, especially in the mountains. Both in this and in the religious sphere compromises were made, and in this co-existence each community preserved its individuality. The final section then considers roles played by eastern Christians in the contacts between Europeans and Mongols. Si les origines de la croisade retiennent l'attention, son évolution mérite elle aussi intérêt. La conception de la croisade, les modalités du financement, la forme d'indulgence, se sont modifiées; l'adoption du transport par bateau a nécessité la prise du contrôle de la mer. Les affrontements avec les Musulmans ont provoqueé des contacts, ainsi pour règler le sort des prisonniers; on a cheché des solutions pacifiques au conflit. Dans leurs possessions orientales, les Francs ont adapté le régime seigneurial aux conditions locales et, tout en gardant intacte leur structure féodale, réservé, surtout dans les montagnes, leur place aux chefs indigènes, Les contacts de civilisation sont réels, mais chaque communauté garde some individualité. Il en est de même dans le domaine religieux, où il a fallu adopter des compromis pout permettre une réelle coexistence. Et finalement les chrétiens orientaux ont été les agents du rapprochement entre Francs and Mongols.

Download or read book De Gaulle written by Julian Jackson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize Winner of the Elizabeth Longford Prize A New Yorker, Financial Times, Spectator, Times, and Telegraph Book of the Year In this definitive biography of the mythic general who refused to accept the Nazi domination of France, Julian Jackson captures Charles de Gaulle as never before. Drawing on unpublished letters, memoirs, and papers from the recently opened de Gaulle archive, he shows how this volatile visionary of staunch faith and conservative beliefs infuriated Churchill, challenged American hegemony, recognized the limitations of colonial ambitions in Algeria and Vietnam, and put a broken France back at the center of world affairs. “With a fluent style and near-total command of existing and newly available sources...Julian Jackson has come closer than anyone before him to demystifying this conservative at war with the status quo, for whom national interests were inseparable from personal honor.” —Richard Norton Smith, Wall Street Journal “A sweeping-yet-concise introduction to the most brilliant, infuriating, and ineffably French of men.” —Ross Douthat, New York Times “Classically composed and authoritative...Jackson writes wonderful political history.” —Adam Gopnik, New Yorker “A remarkable book in which the man widely chosen as the Greatest Frenchman is dissected, intelligently and lucidly, then put together again in an extraordinary fair-minded, highly readable portrait. Throughout, the book tells a thrilling story.” —Antonia Fraser, New Statesman “Makes awesome reading, and is a tribute to the fascination of its subject, and to Jackson’s mastery of it...A triumph, and hugely readable.” —Max Hastings, Sunday Times
