The French Army crumbled swiftly under the powerful blows delivered to it in 1940 by Nazi Germany's confident Wehrmacht. Launching a massive feint into Belgium to lure mobile French armies and the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) away from the actual point of attack, the weakly protected Ardennes Forest, the Germans struck past the Maginot Line. In a lightning campaign, Heinz Guderian's panzers punched through to the coast, dividing Allied forces with a steel cordon across France and forcing the evacuation of the BEF from the port of Dunkirk.

Tocqueville n'est pas seulement un analyste politique exceptionnel, c'est aussi un philosophe politique qui aide à comprendre les problèmes se posant dans les démocraties modernes. L'égalité des conditions, l'individualisme, le despotisme démocratique, les relations entre maîtres et serviteurs, l'esprit de liberté et l'esprit de religion, autant de notions qui dessinent aujourd'hui encore les contours d'une philosophie de la démocratie.

"J'avoue que dans l'Amérique j'ai vu plus que l'Amérique ; j'y ai cherché une image de la démocratie elle-même, de ses penchants, de son caractère, de ses préjugés, de ses passions." Tocqueville a trouvé aux États-Unis non pas un modèle, mais un principe à étudier. L'Amérique lui offre, comme société et comme culture, une démocratie pure. Et un gouvernement déduit de cette démocratie pure.

Story3
In 1789 a group of sober-minded, concerned citizens set in motion a series of events which were to end up leading to the deaths of thousands of perfectly innocent persons. How did this reasonable movement of level-headed civic leaders spin out of control? At a glance, the French Revolution appears a bewildering series of political factions sweeping in and out of power, massacre and counter-massacre, terror and guillotine, and one economic crisis following another.

Story1
In many ways it is fitting that Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794) is one of the best known figures of the French Revolution. The early years of the Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. Few were as vocal in their support of Enlightenment ideals as Robespierre. But the Reign of Terror became the most memorable aspect of the Revolution, and Robespierre's position made him the Reign of Terror's instrumental figure.

Story0
Étienne de La Boétie interroge avec acuité les rapports de domination et soulève cette idée, fort moderne, selon laquelle l'asservissement des peuples est d'autant plus fort que la soumission est vécue comme étant légitime par les dominés. L'analyse développée par l'auteur préfigurant, en un sens, les travaux menés par Pierre Bourdieu sur la violence symbolique. L'État et ses institutions, quand bien même fussent-elles démocratiques, deviennent presque inévitablement les vecteurs d'une violence au sujet de laquelle nous avons le devoir de rester critiques et vigilants.

Jean-Paul Marat (1743-1793) gave the French Revolution a voice. One of the most memorable and notorious revolutionaries, Marat became one of the Revolution's best-known figures through his speeches, writings, and scathing attacks on everyone he perceived as, "[E]nemies of the revolution". No revolutionary was more passionate, determined, and willing to die for the cause.

Jamais on n'a autant parlé de cette institution ni mieux compris son utilité que sous sa présidence. Dans ce livre audio, il évoque les dossiers qu'il a eu à traiter, les combats qu'il a menés, les dirigeants politiques qu'il a côtoyés et souvent affrontés.

In today’s modern world, every political regime, even the most authoritarian or repressive, describes itself as democracy or a democratic people’s republic. The concept of rule by the people and on behalf of the people has come to be accepted as the norm. Very few would overtly espouse the cause of dictatorship, absolute monarchy, or oligarchy as the most desirable political system upon which to base the government of any country.

Le socialisme est voué à l'échec, car il parie que le lapin proverbial mangera le renard à la 101e tentative alors que le renard a mangé le lapin les 100 fois précédentes, tout comme le socialisme a échoué dans les pays qui l’ont adopté 100 fois sur 100 en raison d'une seule erreur fondamentale : l’idée selon laquelle les gens travailleraient aussi dur, aussi souvent et aussi longtemps pour une collectivité qu'ils le feraient pour eux-mêmes. Cela ne s'est jamais produit. Cela ne se produira jamais.
