Маршал Советского Союза Константин Рокоссовский (1896–1968) — один из «авторов» Победы в Великой Отечественной войне.

Настоящее издание воспроизводит авторский текст полностью.

César commence par y relater la guerre des Gaules, justifiant la soumission d'un monde considéré comme barbare, avant de nous plonger dans la guerre civile, c'est-à-dire l'effondrement de la République romaine. Comme le souligne Pacôme Thiellement, qui signe une postface audio inédite, entendre César aujourd'hui, c'est assister à la naissance d'une idéologie qui structure encore notre rapport au monde : domination, expansion et justification de la guerre.

O dia em que conheci Brilhante Ustra, de Alexandre Solnik, relata a prisão do autor, no dia 4 de setembro de 1973, seu encarceramento por 45 dias e sua soltura, sem nenhuma explicação, depois desse período em que viveu os horrores de testemunhar violências e torturas contra presos políticos.
