A total re-assessment of the life of Adolf Eichmann that reveals his activities and notoriety amongst a global network of…
National Socialists following the collapse of the Third Reich, and permanently challenges Hannah Arendt’s notion of the “banality of evil.” Smuggled out of Europe after the collapse of Germany, Eichmann managed to live a peaceful and active exile in Argentina for years before his capture by the Mossad. Though once widely known by nicknames such as “Manager of the Holocaust,” in 1961 he was able to portray himself as an overworked bureaucrat following orders. How was this carefully crafted obfuscation possible? How did a central architect of the Final Solution manage to disappear? And what had he done with his time while in hiding? 2014. Uniform title: Eichmann vor Jerusalem.

life, in hopes that both their sons and their daughters could dare to dream of peace and opportunity. In 2002, Carol Off and a CBC TV crew encountered an Afghan man with a story to tell. Asad Aryubwal became key to their documentary on the terrible power of thuggish warlords who were working arm in arm with Americans and NATO troops. When Asad publicly exposed the deeds of one particular warlord, General Abdul Rashid Dostum, it set off a chain of events from which there was no turning back. Asad, his wife, Mobina, and their five children had to flee their home. Their only chance for a peaceful life was to emigrate--yet year after year of agonizing limbo would ensue as they were thwarted by a Byzantine international bureaucracy and the decidedly unwelcoming policies of Stephen Harper's government. Winner of the 2018 British Columbia National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction. Bestseller. 2017.

C'est quand les cons sont braves qu'ils commettent les pires bêtises. Voilà ce que dit en substance Brassens dans une…
de ses chansons posthumes, à laquelle Martin Petit emprunte son titre pour le récit de son parcours de quatorze années dans l'armée canadienne. Avec une verve extraordinaire et beaucoup d'aplomb, il nous fait revivre l'histoire et les émotions d'un fantassin qui a servi sur de nombreux théâtres d'opération, dans le golfe Persique, en ex-Yougoslavie et en Somalie. Il nous rend sensible l'évolution d'un garçon qui s'est engagé par goût de l'aventure et pour voir du pays, et qui ressort de chaque conflit un peu plus marqué par l'horreur de la guerre. Ayant aujourd'hui à vivre avec le syndrome de stress post-traumatique, Martin Petit est devenu farouchement pacifiste. S'il brise ici la loi du silence, c'est qu'il voudrait, par son témoignage, éviter à d'autres jeunes gens de connaître les mêmes épreuves que lui. -- 4e de couv.
