La guerre, qui met aux prises des armées, n'en reste pas moins une affaire d'individus. Chacun y reçoit en partage l'espoir de la gloire individuelle et l'humiliation de n'être qu'un numéro de matricule. H. Drévillon retrace cette histoire de la guerre vécue à hauteur d'homme, et s'interroge sur ce qui fait une armée?: sacrifice de soi?? Obéissance à la discipline?? Ou consentement libre ?

Conflicts between the USA and China cannot be ruled out. While the outbreak of hostilities between the two superpowers is a daunting prospect - a seemingly improbable one - it is all too possible, which is why we need to think about the unthinkable now. It will also be played out in cyberspace and outer space, and like all previous wars will have devastating consequences. In 1914, war between the Great Powers was also considered unlikely, yet it happened, and popular though analogies with the First World War are, the lessons drawn from its outbreak are usually mistaken. Among these errors is the tendency to over-estimate human rationality, which, the author contends, shapes current debates about Sino-US tensions in the military, political and economic sphere. All major conflicts of the past 300 years have been about the norms and rules of the international system. China and the US are two 'exceptional' powers whose values differ markedly, with Beijing challenging the global order that has been Washington's preserve for so long. The so-called 'Thucydidean Trap' - when a conservative status quo power confronts a rising new one - may also play its part in precipitating hostilities, if it has not been sprung already. To avoid a catastrophe, both the US and China urgently need to fashion a coherent strategy, which neither of them has. This book explains how this situation came about, what might be done to alleviate tension and why we may have passed the point of no return.
