"Premier général noir de l'armée française, Toussaint Louverture, né en 1743 et mort en captivité au fort de Joux en 1803, est l'auteur d'un authentique mémoire protestataire. Pour être "le premier des Noirs", Toussaint n'est pas moins le premier mémorialiste noir au sens précis où on l'entend dans l'histoire. Cette édition critique fait redécouvrir la vraie portée historique et politique de ce document autographe unique en son genre, rarement lu, le mémoire étant connu dans sa version officielle, recopiée en français pour Bonaparte, et réécrit dans l'édition fautive et obsolète de Saint-Rémy (1853). Il éclairera les chercheurs de toutes les disciplines qui s'interrogent sur les implications de la Révolution de Saint-Domingue en 1804."--P. [4] of cover.

Legality is a profound work in analytical jurisprudence, the branch of legal philosophy which deals with metaphysical questions about the law. In the twentieth century, there have been two major approaches to the nature of law. The first and most prominent is legal positivism, which draws a sharp distinction between law as it is and law as it might be or ought to be. The second are theories that view law as embedded in a moral framework. Scott Shapiro is a positivist, but one who tries to bridge the differences between the two approaches. In Legality, he shows how law can be thought of as a set of plans to achieve complex human goals. His new “planning” theory of law is a way to solve the “possibility problem”, which is the problem of how law can be authoritative without referring to higher laws.

Ferdinand Foch ended the First World War as Marshal of France and supreme commander of the Allied armies on the Western Front. Foch in Command is a pioneering study of his contribution to the Allied victory. Elizabeth Greenhalgh uses contemporary notebooks, letters and documents from previously under-studied archives to chart how the artillery officer, who had never commanded troops in battle when the war began, learned to fight the enemy, to cope with difficult colleagues and allies, and to manoeuvre through the political minefield of civil-military relations. She offers valuable insights into neglected questions: the contribution of unified command to the Allied victory; the role of a commander's general staff; and the mechanisms of command at corps and army level. She demonstrates how an energetic Foch developed war-winning strategies for a modern industrial war and how political realities contributed to his losing the peace.
