Les Cahiers Pierre Michon font partie des publications scientifiques de critique littéraire consacrées à un écrivain particulier. C’est la revue d’une association de lecteurs créée en 2016, « Les Amis de Pierre Michon », qui a pour but de faire mieux connaître l’œuvre littéraire de Pierre Michon et de contribuer à son rayonnement. Cette association encourage les échanges, les études et les recherches en organisant ou en soutenant des colloques, séminaires, journées d’étude, conférences et autres manifestations culturelles en lien avec son œuvre. Elle propose des « Journées Pierre Michon » et anime un site Internet. Elle assure la publication annuelle des Cahiers Pierre Michon qui diffusent textes, études et documents, édités par les Presses universitaires de Rennes. Chaque numéro des Cahiers Pierre Michon s’organise en six rubriques. – La première, sous le titre « Textes de Pierre Michon », propose des textes et entretiens rares ou devenus introuvables ainsi que des inédits (extraits de carnets ou notes de l’écrivain, fac-similés et documents divers répartis dans le Cahier). – Dans la deuxième partie, un « Dossier » rassemble des études sur un thème, un livre, une question ou un aspect de l’œuvre de Pierre Michon. Il s’agit de textes de critique littéraire émanant de colloques ou suscités par le Comité de rédaction de la revue. Ce dernier lance des appels à contributions et procède à l’évaluation scientifique des études, avec l’aide éventuelle de spécialistes français ou étrangers. – La troisième rubrique, « Réception », dresse la bibliographie complète du « Dossier ». – Une quatrième rubrique, « Salutations », rassemble, sur propositions du Comité de rédaction, des textes libres – témoignages, hommages ou « saluts » à Michon… – d’écrivains contemporains, de traducteurs ou de lecteurs. – Une partie « Recensions » présente éventuellement les ouvrages récemment publiés sur l’œuvre de Pierre Michon. – La rubrique finale, « Actualité de l’œuvre », informe de toutes les publications ou manifestations récentes relatives à l’œuvre de Pierre Michon.

Most wars between countries end quickly and at relatively low cost. The few in which high-intensity fighting continues for years bring about a disproportionate amount of death and suffering. What separates these few unusually long and intense wars from the many conflicts that are far less destructive? In Logics of War, Alex Weisiger tests three explanations for a nation's decision to go to war and continue fighting regardless of the costs. He combines sharp statistical analysis of interstate wars over the past two centuries with nine narrative case studies. He examines both well-known conflicts like World War II and the Persian Gulf War, as well as unfamiliar ones such as the 1864-1870 Paraguayan War (or the War of the Triple Alliance), which proportionally caused more deaths than any other war in modern history. When leaders go to war expecting easy victory, events usually correct their misperceptions quickly and with fairly low casualties, thereby setting the stage for a negotiated agreement. A second explanation involves motives born of domestic politics; as war becomes more intense, however, leaders are increasingly constrained in their ability to continue the fighting. Particularly destructive wars instead arise from mistrust of an opponent's intentions. Countries that launch preventive wars to forestall expected decline tend to have particularly ambitious war aims that they hold to even when fighting goes poorly. Moreover, in some cases, their opponents interpret the preventive attack as evidence of a dispositional commitment to aggression, resulting in the rejection of any form of negotiation and a demand for unconditional surrender. Weisiger's treatment of a topic of central concern to scholars of major wars will also be read with great interest by military historians, political psychologists, and sociologists.

Colonel Dean examines the increasing importance of third world countries in global affairs. Their vital natural resources and geostrategic locations make them the object of intense competition between the superpowers and a ripe target for a new category of conflict. Because of the high probability of US involvement in third world conflicts, we must adapt our resources to acquire the flexibility demanded by low-intensity conflict.
