"Le Grand tournant ne se lit pas seulement comme un livre d'histoire, mais comme une formidable leçon de management à l'usage de politiques et de chefs d'entreprise à bout de souffle" L'Express"Le Grand tournant ne se lit pas seulement comme un livre d'histoire, mais comme une formidable leçon de management à l'usage de politiques et de chefs d'entreprise à bout de souffle" L'Express A travers le récit de cinq grandes campagnes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Paul Kennedy analyse les ressorts de cinq moments clés sur le chemin de la victoire des Alliés. La bataille d'Angleterre permet de mieux comprendre les enjeux de la suprématie aérienne ; celle de l'Atlantique pose la question de la domination sous-marine ; les combats d'Afrique du Nord et du front de l'Est montrent comment la
Blitzkrieg fut contrée ; le débarquement de Normandie explique la complexité des opérations amphibies ; la guerre du Pacifique, enfin, permet de réfléchir aux contraintes posées par la " tyrannie de la distance ".
En se penchant plus particulièrement sur des acteurs souvent oubliés - ingénieurs, terrassiers, inventeurs - qui rendirent matériellement possibles les exploits des soldats, Paul Kennedy propose une fascinante histoire-ingénierie de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

This book argues that in recent decades an unrestrained vampire-capitalism has emerged, disengaged from the needs of citizens and workers, leading to a deepening of social class, generational, gender, educational and ethnic divisions. The author explores how our cultural obsession with self-realization undermines our capacity for collective action and ability to confront threats such as climate change and the impact of the rapid advance of technology on labour. Drawing on sociology and political economy as well as worldwide case studies, the chapters interrogate how we arrived at these dilemmas and how we might escape them through establishing alternative social economies.
Vampire Capitalism will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including sociology, social theory, globalisation studies, development studies, political economy, geography, politics and social policy.
This edited collection brings together essays that share in a critical attention to visual culture as a means of representing, contributing to and/or intervening with discursive struggles and territorial conflicts currently taking place at and across the outward-facing and internal borders of the People's Republic of China. Elucidated by the essays collected here for the first time is a constellation of what might be described as visual culture wars comprising resistances on numerous fronts not only to the growing power and expansiveness of the Chinese state but also the residues of a once pervasively suppressive Western colonialism/imperialism. The present volume addresses visual culture related to struggles and conflicts at the borders of Hong Kong, the South China Sea and Taiwan as well within the PRC with regard the so-called "Great Firewall of China" and differences in discursive outlook between China and the West on the significances of art, technology, gender and sexuality. In doing so, it provides a vital index of twenty-first century China's diversely conflicted status as a contemporary nation-state and arguably nascent empire.
