Supported in large part by evidence released after the collapse of the Soviet Union, this book follows the career of the Red Army from its birth in 1918 as the designated vanguard of world revolution to its affiliation in 1941 with 'the citadel of capitalism', the United States. Effectiveness of leadership and military doctrine are particular concerns here, and Josef Stalin is the dominant personality.On the basis of the Russian Civil War (1918-20), the Red Army began to bill itself as 'an army of a new type', inherently superior to all others. However, in late 1920, the Poles trounce

When the Japanese Empire went to war with the Allies in December 1941, it had already been fighting in China for 10 years. During that time it had conquered huge areas of China, and subjugated millions of people. The Japanese needed to control the Chinese population in these occupied territories, and for this reason they set up governments from amongst the leaders of the Chinese who were willing to co-operate with them. These so-called 'puppet' governments were designed to rule on behalf of the Japanese while firmly under their overall control. In turn, the puppet governments needed their own

Tracing the course of conflicts throughout Asia in the past century, this groundbreaking volume is the first to explore systematically the nexus of war and state terrorism. Challenging states' definitions of terrorism, which routinely exclude their own behavior, the book focuses especially on the nature of Japanese and American wars and crimes of war. This rare comparative perspective examines the ways in which state terror leads to civilian casualties, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. In counterbalance, they discuss anti-war movements and international efforts to protect human rights.

Depuis 1993, un groupe interdisciplinaire réunit à l'Université de Provence d'Aix des chercheurs travaillant tous sur le XVIe siècle et dans des domaines différents : histoire, littérature française, histoire des arts, littérature italienne, littérature espagnole. Ils livrent ici leurs regards croisés sur le thème « Prendre une ville au XVIe siècle ». Il ne s'agit pas d'un traité d'art militaire ou de poliorcétique, mais d'une réflexion sur un champ vaste qui va du factuel à l'imaginaire : une façon de rompre le carcan du cloisonnement en disciplines et de restituer, si possible, la richesse d'une réalité toujours difficile à saisir et toujours grosse de promesses : ne reste-t-il pas encore bien des citadelles à prendre ?
