The Second World War was the most gigantic military conflict of all time, both in terms of the harshness of the fighting endured by the soldiers involved, and the malicious consequences for civilian populations and the devastating effects on homes and the organisation of territories.

Cannons and Men: A History of Artillery

L20220088
€27.49
Since the fourteenth century, artillery has been at the heart of every battle that has shaped the history of France. To write an exhaustive history of it is a daunting challenge to which several volumes would barely do justice. Such a work would need to address, in detail, the evolution of equipment and weapons systems, of organisations, of employment —...

€29.38
What was the real impact of the Algerian War on the French armed forces?

JIHAD, the Asymmetry Between Fanaticism and Incomprehension

L20220073
€25.59

Encyclopedia of Terrorism and Organized Violence

L20220070
€36.97
Terrorism is neither an inevitability nor a doctrine. It is a method. A method placed in the service of the most diverse strategies and objectives. Even if attacks resemble one another, they most often respond to different ends. The fight against terrorism — or rather, terrorisms — requires a strategy adapted to each adversary, to its structures, its...
