Abstract

L'histoire de Rome est inséparable de l'histoire de ses guerres. De 509 à 338 avant J.-C., la cité fut en permanence menacée de disparaître : elle combattit parfois plusieurs ennemis à la fois, souvent des voisins, qui ne supportaient pas l'âpreté au gain de ses soldats et l'arrogance de ses dirigeants. Ce fut un dur « struggle for life » qui forgea les bases de sa future puissance. Car ne reconnaissant jamais aucune défaite, sans plan préétabli, elle s'empara, de 338 avant J.-C. à 106 après J.-C., pays après pays, de tout le bassin méditerranéen, et elle finit par contrôler un domaine immense, de l'Écosse au Sahara, de l'Atlantique à la Mésopotamie. Et puis, en 406/410 après J.-C., elle le perdit. Ce livre présente l'anatomie des guerres de Rome gagnées grâce à un outil militaire exceptionnel, à de grands capitaines, et à des règles sociales originales et fortes. Mais il présente aussi les guerres peu à peu perdues, les débâcles et les redditions. Il montre, à cet effet, comment la supériorité des techniques de combat, de l'armement, de l'organisation et d'un art du commandement sans faille s'est peu à peu usée, délitée, éteinte au sein d'un empire devenu trop vaste, confronté à de nouveaux ennemis, venus de très loin, plus féroces que jamais et inassimilables. Fidèle à sa méthode, Yann Le Bohec ramène le lecteur aux sources : par les textes des grands auteurs de l'Antiquité, mais aussi par l'épigraphie, et grâce aux dernières découvertes de l'archéologie, il exhume des batailles inconnues et des guerres oubliées. L'Histoire des guerres romaines, qui évoque la mort de tant de soldats et de grands chefs militaires qui les menèrent au combat, devient ainsi, par cette approche inédite, un texte vivant et passionnant. C'est l'histoire d'une milice de paysans qui a fini par dominer le monde.

Abstract

"On November 25, 1950, during one of the toughest battles of the Korean War, the US Eighth Army Ranger Company seized and held the strategically important Hill 205 overlooking the Chongchon River. Separated by more than a mile from the nearest friendly unit, fifty-one soldiers fought several hundred Chinese attackers. Their commander, Lieutenant Ralph Puckett, was wounded three times before he was evacuated. For his actions, he received the country's second-highest award for courage on the battlefield--the Distinguished Service Cross--and resumed active duty later that year as a living legend. In this inspiring autobiography, Colonel Ralph Puckett recounts his extraordinary experiences on and off the battlefield. After he returned from Korea, Puckett joined the newly established US Army Ranger Department, serving as an instructor and tactical officer, and commanding companies at Fort Benning and in the Ranger Mountain Camp in north Georgia. He went on to lead companies in Vietnam, train cadets at West Point, and organize the Escuela de Lancero leadership course in Colombia. Puckett's story is critical reading for soldiers, leaders, military historians, and others interested in the impact of conflict on individual soldiers as well as the military as a whole."--Provided by publisher.
