Au cœur de la réflexion sur la Révolution française, la « terreur » constitue une véritable énigme. Comment cette révolution, qui promeut les Droits de l'Homme, entend réformer la justice au nom des Lumières et convaincre ses opposants par la seule force de la Raison, en vient-elle à mettre en œuvre une terrible répression contre ses adversaires ? La guillotine, initialement conçue pour être un symbole d'humanisation de la peine capitale, devient ainsi un redoutable instrument d'élimination politique et marque en profondeur l'image de la Révolution, mais aussi celle de la France dans le monde. Fruit d'un prétendu « système » inventé par les vainqueurs de Robespierre, la Terreur est ici saisie dans toute sa complexité, notamment dans ses liens avec l'état d'exception et le Gouvernement révolutionnaire. Cet ouvrage a pour ambition de livrer des éléments factuels et des réflexions qui permettront de comprendre comment ce phénomène de la « terreur » a pu aussi durablement ternir l'image et le souvenir de la Révolution française.

What are the factors which have made South Africa so appealing to terrorist and radical islamic organisations? What role has South Africa played within global Jihad? This book examines how South Africa has come to play a major role in global terror networks stemming from growing criminality and corruption within state structures. It also examines the interaction between local and foreign extremist elements which undermine South Africa’s security. The author brings the discussion beyond the usual mundane academic treatise to the sharp reality of the global dangers of politicised Islam – a muslim talking candidly about Islam.

Sometimes tragedies that have little to distinguish them from a wide range of similar events and which can make no claim to record numbers of casualties or destructive impact go down in history as fundamental and emblematic. This is the case of two of the airstrikes discussed in this volume: Barcelona and Dresden. Other tragedies, however, are sometimes obscured by circumstances elsewhere. This is the case of the “other Guernicas”: that is to say, the bombings of Otxandio, Durango and Elorrio in Biscay. They are good examples not only of the brutality inherent in all wars and of how methods of combat become increasingly barbaric as conflicts wear on but also of the way in which some circumstances push events to the forefront of history and make them emblematic.
