L'histoire de notre XXe siècle peut se lire comme un roman. Comme un roman, elle s'est construite sur des rencontres, des luttes, des trahisons : Heidegger supprimant la dédicace de son livre, Etre et Temps, à son ancien professeur de philosophie, Edmund Husserl, parce que ce dernier était juif; Freud conversant avec Mahler dans les rues de Leyde, une nuit d'été de 1910 ; Husserl appelant à lutter, lors d'une conférence donnée en mai 1935, contre la chute de l'Europe "dans la haine spirituelle et dans la barbarie". C'est cette même conférence que devait découvrir Jorge Semprun, alors interné à Buchenwald, par l'entremise d'un autre détenu, Felix Kreisler, au cours des heures de discussions dominicales volées à l'enfer du camp auprès de Maurice Halbwachs. Des années quarante à la chute du communisme, à la réunification allemande et à la construction européenne, ce livre lucide et passionné est le témoignage d'un grand intellectuel européen sur les épisodes les plus marquants de notre histoire.

"This third volume deals with the question of the control of weaponry, from the Bronze Age to the Nuclear Age. In doing so, it divides into two parts: namely, conventional weapons and Weapons of Mass Destruction. The examination of the history of arms control of conventional weapons begins with the control of weaponry so that one side could achieve a military advantage over another. This pattern, which only began to change centuries after the advent of gunpowder, was later supplemented by ideals to control types of conventional weapons because their impacts upon opposing combatants were inhumane. By the late twentieth century, the concerns over inhumane conventional weapons were being supplemented by concerns over indiscriminate conventional weapons. The focus on indiscriminate weapons, when applied on a mass scale, is the core of the second part of the volume. Weapons of Mass Destruction are primarily weapons of the latter half of the twentieth century. Although both chemical and biological warfare have long historical lineages, it was only after the Second World War that technological developments meant that these weapons could be applied to cause large-scale damage to non-combatants. thi is unlike uclear weapons, which are a truly modern invention. Despite being the newest Weapon of Mass Destruction, they are also the weapon of which most international attention has been applied, although the frameworks by which they were contained in the last century, appear inadequate to address the needs of current times. As a work of reference this set of three books is unrivalled, and will be of immense benefit to scholars and practitioners researching and advising on the laws of warfare. It also tells a story which throws fascinating new light on the history of international law and on the history of warfare itself."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
