From one of the truly preeminent historians of our time, this is a landmark book chronicling the French Revolution. Simon Schama deftly refutes the contemporary notion that the French Revolution represented an uprising of the oppressed poor against a decadent aristocracy and corrupt court. He argues instead that the revolution was born of a rift among the elite over the speed of progress toward modernity and science, social and economic change.

“History”, suggests Robert Gildea, “is a battlefield.” Questions of power, rights, identity and nationhood always have an ancient and modern historical dimension and countries still go to war over their interpretation of history. Yet accounts of history are just as prone to fabrication as fake news, so how can we tell good history from bad? In this passionately argued book, Gildea suggests that the more people who really understand what good history entails, the more likely history is to triumph over myth.

Erwin Rommel est sans doute le plus connu des généraux allemands de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Plus de soixante ans après sa mort, il personnifie souvent le soldat qui inspire le respect aussi bien pour sa maîtrise de l'art de la guerre que pour s'être montré réservé à l'égard du régime hitlérien. Or, à la lumière des archives et de récentes recherches parues pour la plupart en langue allemande, il convient de remettre en question cette image apologétique.

Dans le livre qui suit, nous aborderons les moments essentiels de la Seconde Guerre mondiale — ces événements déterminants de l'histoire moderne, dont l'ampleur a dicté le destin du monde entier.

Between King Cotton and Queen Victoria recenters our understanding of the Civil War by framing it as a hemispheric affair, deeply influenced by the actions of a network of private parties and minor officials in the Confederacy and British territory in and around North America. John Wilkes Booth likely would not have been in a position to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, for example, without the logistical support and assistance of the pro-Confederate network in Canada.
