In late 2004, Myanmar's best known general and long-serving leader of the military regime, General Khin Nyunt, was suddenly dismissed. This shock development, perpetrated by a regime that has defied all predictions of its demise and disintegration, generated widespread uncertainty both inside and outside the country. Official reassurances about continuing the 2003 "Road Map" process left many questions about the path ahead unanswered. Would political dialogue with opposition groups be resumed? How would increasingly restive ethnic groups respond? Would nascent civil society groups be able to play a role in national reconciliation? How would the new leadership deal with the flagging economy? What are the prospects for the large but under-funded and highly regulated agricultural sector? This book addresses these issues.

"J'ai la faiblesse congénitale de penser que je peux tout faire !". Il est vrai que sa vie durant, l'amiral Lord Louis Mountbatten (1900-1979) fut habité par le feu sacré et béni des dieux : né prince de Battenberg, allemand d'origine mais anglais d adoption, arrière-petit-fils de la reine Victoria, ce grand meneur d hommes, d'une beauté renversante et d une singulière vivacité d'esprit, était également doté d'un charme irrésistible et d'une volonté de fer.Refusant de jouer les riches oisifs après son mariage avec l'héritière multimillionnaire Edwina Ashley, Mountbatten marche sur les traces de son père et poursuit une brillante carrière dans la Royal Navy. Il s'illustre durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avant d'être nommé par Winston Churchill chef des opérations offensives contre les côtes de l'Europe occupée, puis commandant suprême des forces alliées en Asie du Sud-Est, qu'il libère du joug japonais.Promu malgré lui vice-roi des Indes, il sera, avec l'aide de Nehru et de Gandhi, le principal artisan de l'indépendance de l'Inde et du Pakistan en 1947. Devenu ensuite commandant des forces de l'Otan en Méditerranée et chef d'état-major de la Défense britannique, cet Amiral de la Flotte exceptionnel prendra en 1965 une retraite méritée, avant de périr assassiné par l'IRA en Irlande. Militaire et diplomate accompli, voyageur au long cours, "Dickie", comme l'appelaient ses intimes, était aussi champion de polo, passionné de cinéma et grand amateur de voitures de sport.Ambitieux, vaniteux et téméraire, ce diable d'homme a traversé le XXe siècle comme un météore, et le talent de plume de François Kersaudy nous le rend incroyablement attachant.

Les nouveaux mystères de Paris (1954-1959), Léo Malet's fifteen-novel detective series inspired by Eugène Sue's nineteenth-century feuilleton , almost achieved the goal of setting a mystery in each of the twenty Parisian arrondissements, with Nestor Burma at the center of the action. In Burma, the "détective de choc" first introduced in 1943's 120 rue de la gare , Malet, considered the "father" of the French roman noir , creates a cultural hybrid, bringing literary references and surrealist techniques to a criminal milieu. Michelle Emanuel's groundbreaking study is particularly insightful in its treatment of Malet as a pioneer within the literary genre of the French roman noir while making sure to also focus on his surrealist roots. Against the archetypes of Simenon's Maigret and Christie's Poirot, Burma is brash and streetwise, peppering his speech with colorful and evocative slang. As the reader's tour guide, Burma highlights Paris's forgotten past while providing insight to the Paris of (his) present, referencing both popular culture and contemporary issues. Malet's innovation of setting a noir narrative in France serves as a catalyst for further change in the policier genre in France, including his contemporary Jean Amila, the néo-polar of Jean-Patrick Manchette, and the historical roman noir of Didier Daeninckx.
