La Côte d’Opale en guerre d’Algérie 1954-1962

Autor: Marc Coppin

Número de Páginas: 390

Entre 1954 et 1962, la Côte d’Opale envoie des milliers de ses enfants « maintenir l’ordre » en Algérie, une terre largement inconnue de la partie la plus septentrionale de la métropole. Parmi ces jeunes, 378 ne reviennent pas. Comment les habitants du littoral ont-ils vécu et ressenti au quotidien cette guerre ? Partis politiques et syndicats, principalement de gauche, chrétiens et enseignants s’investissent contre la poursuite du conflit. Mais des engagements marginaux existent aussi en faveur de l’OAS et du FLN. Le littoral accueille favorablement le retour au pouvoir du général de Gaulle, tant la IVe République est discréditée. Dans les moments de crises graves, en mai 1958, en janvier 1960 ou en avril 1961, le soutien à l’action du général de Gaulle est très affirmé. Pour faire face à la douleur des familles endeuillées ou séparées, les instances officielles se manifestent pour tenter d’apaiser ou pour maintenir un lien avec le jeune soldat appelé en Algérie. Les organisations caritatives, les comités locaux leur viennent en aide. Les liens économiques entre les ports de la Côte d’Opale et la principale colonie du pays sont également...

Justifier la guerre

Autor: Solange Rameix

Número de Páginas: 378

Par leur dimension européenne et mondiale, leur durée, leur coût humain et financier, leurs contraintes logistiques, les guerres du « siècle de fer » ont nourri un flot de discours, oraux et écrits, où se mêlent justifications du recours à la violence armée et dénonciations de l'ennemi. Du roi de guerre qui met en scène son pouvoir monarchique à celui qui justifie sa politique étrangère pour obtenir des impôts élevés, du parlementaire qui cherche sa place au sein d'un parti politique à l'homme d'Église qui veut gagner la protection du monarque, de l'éditeur en attente d'un succès de librairie au pamphlétaire en quête des bonnes grâces d'un mécène ou du public, tous s'expriment sur les guerres contemporaines. Multiples, les prises de parole sur les guerres sont rarement neutres et le plus souvent investies d'une portée politique tant la guerre et ses justifications sont liées à la souveraineté. Alors que le pouvoir étatique se renforce dans l'Europe du XVIIe siècle, les monarques cherchent à monopoliser non seulement la violence armée mais le discours la concernant. L'analyse comparée de la France de Louis XIV et de l'Angleterre des lendemains...

Au commencement était la guerre

Autor: Alain Bauer

Número de Páginas: 453

« Voici donc venu le temps d’appréhender le monde tel qu’il est plutôt que de l’ignorer, de le comprendre plutôt que de le rêver, de le travailler plutôt que de le consommer. De préparer la guerre qui vient pour retenir la paix qui s’en va. De s’employer à faire l’Histoire pour n’être pas dévoré par elle. D’accepter que, tant que l’Histoire a cours, toute ligne de vie puisse un jour avoir à se transformer en ligne de front. Au commencement était la guerre, espérons finir en paix. » « De fait, l’humanité semble condamnée à vivre perpétuellement entre conflits et intermèdes pacifiques. Depuis l’affirmation de la domination de l’anthropocène, la construction de sociétés humaines, de plus en plus complexes, s’accompagne de guerres tribales, locales, continentales ou mondiales. Le cœur du monde bat au rythme de ces conflits qui arrachent en permanence à l’inventivité humaine des progrès nouveaux autant pour détruire que pour restaurer, autant pour tuer à coup sûr que pour mettre en sûreté, autant pour conquérir que pour sanctuariser. » « Maintenant qu’avec l’illusion du bonheur s’effondre celle d’une civilisation...

French Soldiers' Morale in the Phoney War, 1939-1940

Autor: Maude Williams , Bernard Wilkin

Número de Páginas: 164

The collapse of the French army in 1940 is a well-researched topic in Second World War Studies but a surprising gap in the historiography emerges when it comes to the study of the French military prior to the German offensive of May 1940. Using various public and private sources in different languages, this book aims to address this gap by studying morale on the frontline and its management by the French Government, the Grand Quartier Général, at the scale of the regiment and on a personal level. This research also investigates German and British propaganda in French and aimed at the French sector of the frontline in order to offer the first comprehensive comparative study of French army morale in any language.

Autor: Vincent Chetail , Peter Haggenmacher

Número de Páginas: 461

No other scholar has so deeply influenced the development of international law or shaped the doctrinal debates as Vattel. More than 250 years after its publication, his Law of Nations has remained the most frequently quoted treatise of international law. Vattel's International Law from a XXIst Century Perspective explores the reasons behind the extraordinary authority of Vattel and analyses its continuing relevance for thinking and understanding contemporary international law. It gathers the contributions from well-known experts of international law and history for the purpose of evaluating the Law of Nations from a XXIst century perspective. The multiple facets of Vattel’s thinking are apprehended through a wide-ranging and comprehensive analysis respectively devoted to the international system, the sources of international law, the subjects of international law, the law of peace, and the law of war.

The Normalisation of Exceptional Counterterrorism Powers

Autor: Marine Guéguin

Número de Páginas: 268

This book investigates the framing of the terrorist threat in France from 2015 to 2020 as an ‘exceptional’ challenge which requires a ‘special’ public security response. The book examines how French political actors framed the terrorist threat in French political discourse from an exceptional challenge to a permanent, routine threat. It provides an in-depth critical discourse analysis of the French political narratives surrounding the activation of the ‘état d’urgence’ (state of emergency) following the 2015 Charlie Hebdo and Paris terrorist attacks, and traces this narrative until 2020. The study explores the securitisation-desecuritisation framework, showing how the normalisation of emergency powers reflects the ongoing (re)construction of terrorism within French political contexts. The work demonstrates the importance of threat framing and the securitisation of terrorism by considering the colonial legacies embedded in French counterterrorism (CT) policies. By investigating the intersection of CT political discourse, temporality, and colonial continuity, the book challenges traditional notions of exceptionalism in securitisation. It argues that the routinisation...

The Franco-Prussian War

Autor: Michael Howard

Número de Páginas: 287

In 1870 Bismarck ordered the Prussian Army to invade France, inciting one of the most dramatic conflicts in European history. It transformed not only the states-system of the Continent but the whole climate of European moral and political thought. The overwhelming triumph of German military might, evoking general admiration and imitation, introduced an era of power politics, which was to reach its disastrous climax in 1914. First published in 1961 and now with a new introduction, The Franco-Prussian War is acknowledged as the definitive history of one of the most dramatic and decisive conflicts in the history of Europe.

The First Way of War

Autor: John Grenier

Número de Páginas: 254

This 2005 book explores the evolution of Americans' first way of war, to show how war waged against Indian noncombatant population and agricultural resources became the method early Americans employed and, ultimately, defined their military heritage. The sanguinary story of the American conquest of the Indian peoples east of the Mississippi River helps demonstrate how early Americans embraced warfare shaped by extravagant violence and focused on conquest. Grenier provides a major revision in understanding the place of warfare directed on noncombatants in the American military tradition, and his conclusions are relevant to understand US 'special operations' in the War on Terror.

Legal Restraints on the Use of Military Force

Autor: Thilo Marauhn , Barry De Vries

Número de Páginas: 700

Professor Michael Bothe is one of the most prominent and influential scholars of international humanitarian law. His publications on legal restraints on the use of military force were not only important at the time of their publication. They continue to be relevant for the interpretation and further development of this highly important area of international law. This volume uniquely collects a wealth of writings that demonstrate that political ideals coupled with a sense of human responsibility can benefit from solid doctrinal underpinnings in international law. Michael Bothe's work brings together idealism, pragmatism and the law in a unique fashion that not only provides insights into important matters of every day politics but also serves as a stimulus for future contributions to the field. The volume thus provides guidance, food for thought and incentives for debate in the international legal community, among practitioners and academics alike. Michael’s doctrinal skills, combined with his contextualized assessment of the law, and his deep empathy for the needs of human beings in difficult situations, with a particular view to the victims of armed conflict, will provide a...

Writing the Great War

Autor: Christoph Cornelissen , Arndt Weinrich

Número de Páginas: 516

From the Treaty of Versailles to the 2018 centenary and beyond, the history of the First World War has been continually written and rewritten, studied and contested, producing a rich historiography shaped by the social and cultural circumstances of its creation. Writing the Great War provides a groundbreaking survey of this vast body of work, assembling contributions on a variety of national and regional historiographies from some of the most prominent scholars in the field. By analyzing perceptions of the war in contexts ranging from Nazi Germany to India’s struggle for independence, this is an illuminating collective study of the complex interplay of memory and history.

Worcestershire Regiment in the Great War Vol 2

Autor: Capt H. Fitzm. Stacke

Número de Páginas: 426

Arguably the finest regimental history even written. A magnificent publication it is with its profusion of maps, illustrations and photos - each page of photos contains several. The Worcesters was one of the five regiments that had four regular battalions before the war, with two special reserve and two territorial battalions. By the end of the war another fourteen battalions had been raised for a total of twenty-two of which twelve went on active service. 9,460 officers and men gave their lives, 71 Battle Honours were awarded and eight VCs one of whom, attached to the RFC, was the airman Leefe Robinson, famous for shooting down a zeppelin. Battalions served on the Western Front, in Gallipoli, Macedonia, Mesopotamia, Italy; one battalion ended the war in North Persia. Appendices provide the Roll of Honour; Honours and Awards including Mention in Despatches, with date of Gazette (for 'Companion' of the British Empire read 'Commander'); details of Badges, Colours and Distinctions of the regiment; and the music for regimental marches.

Henri de Rothschild, 1872–1947

Autor: Harry W. Paul

Número de Páginas: 323

Dr Henri de Rothschild was a fifth generation Rothschild and perhaps the most famous of the Paris Rothschilds of the fin-de-siècle period. A 'sleeping partner' of the bank and the non-drinking owner of Mouton-Rothschild, Henri spent much of his life building medical institutions and promoting scientific medicine, including the promotion of Ehrlich's Salvarsan to cure syphilis and the use of radium to cure cancer. His hospital in a working class area of northern Paris boasted the latest in medical advances. Henri was particularly influential in developing the new science of infant feeding, while his broader concerns with infant health led to his playing a prominent role in the development of the specialty of pediatrics. This biography of Henri de Rothschild focuses on his medical achievements and that of his close family in France. Henri, his wife Mathilde and his mother Thérèse all had busy medical careers during World War I. The book also gives an account of both women's experiences of the war. Along with his explicitly scientific medical concerns, Henri was also a prolific playwright and, under the pseudonym André Pascal, wrote several plays about doctors. This book situates ...

It covers all French stamps from 1849 to the present day, offering hundreds of changes – with oddities, new varieties and discoveries presented, as always, in an exceptional way.
