Par Michael D Gordin. 2009
On August 29, 1949, the first Soviet test bomb, dubbed "First Lightning", exploded in the deserts of Kazakhstan. This surprising…
international event marked the beginning of an arms race that would ultimately lead to nuclear proliferation beyond the Soviet Union and the United States. Using newly opened archives, Gordin follows a trail of espionage, secrecy, deception, political brinksmanship, and technical innovation to provide a fresh understanding of the nuclear arms race. 2009.Droit pénal

Les années Condor: comment Pinochet et ses alliés ont propagé le terrorisme sur trois continents ((La découverte poche ; 280. Essais))
Par John Dinges, Isabelle Taudière. 2008
"Les années Condor raconte l'histoire secrète des "sales guerres" conduites par les dictatures latino-américaines alliées des États-Unis, au cours des…
années 1970 et 1980. Pendant plus de dix ans, six gouvernements ont mené de concert des actions clandestines contre leurs opposants, enlevant et assassinant plus de 30 000 personnes. À l'initiative du président chilien Augusto Pinochet, et avec le soutien de la CIA, ils ont mis sur pied une organisation terroriste internationale, l'opération Condor, pour liquider les opposants qui s'étaient réfugiés dans d'autres pays latino-américains, en Europe ou aux États-Unis. Le journaliste américain John Dinges fait ici le récit de cette histoire effroyable, fruit d'une enquête de plusieurs années, nourrie de nombreux témoignages, de documents secrets américains déclassifiés et des archives des dictatures elles-mêmes. Il révèle l'ampleur de la complicité de Washington dans les crimes de dictateurs pour lesquels les États-Unis étaient le "leader" [...]". -- 4e de couv.

Claws of the Panda: Beijing's Campaign of Influence and Intimidation in Canada
Par Jonathan Manthorpe. 2019
Claws of the Panda tells the story of Canada’s failure to construct a workable policy towards the People’s Republic of…
China. In particular the book tells of Ottawa’s failure to recognize and confront the efforts by the Chinese Communist Party to infiltrate and influence Canadian politics, academia, and media, and to exert control over Canadians of Chinese heritage. Claws of the Panda gives a detailed description of the CCP’s campaign to embed agents of influence in Canadian business, politics, media and academia. The party’s aims are to be able to turn Canadian public policy to China’s advantage, to acquire useful technology and intellectual property, to influence Canada’s international diplomacy, and, most important, to be able to monitor and intimidate Chinese Canadians and others it considers dissidents. The book traces the evolution of the Canada-China relationship over nearly 150 years. It shows how Canadian leaders have constantly misjudged the reality and potential of the relationship while the CCP and its agents have benefited from Canadian naivete.Beverley McLachlin: The Legacy of a Supreme Court Chief Justice

Standoff: Why Reconciliation Fails Indigenous People and How to Fix It
Par Bruce McIvor. 2021
Faced with a constant stream of news reports of standoffs and confrontations, Canada’s “reconciliation project” has obviously gone off the…
rails. In this series of concise and thoughtful essays, lawyer and historian Bruce McIvor explains why reconciliation with Indigenous peoples is failing and what needs to be done to fix it. Widely known as a passionate advocate for Indigenous rights, McIvor reports from the front lines of legal and political disputes that have gripped the nation. From Wet’suwet’en opposition to a pipeline in northern British Columbia, to Mi’kmaw exercising their fishing rights in Nova Scotia, McIvor has been actively involved in advising First Nation clients, fielding industry and non-Indigenous opposition to true reconciliation, and explaining to government officials why their policies are failing. McIvor’s essays are honest and heartfelt. In clear, plain language he explains the historical and social forces that underpin the development of Indigenous law, criticizes the current legal shortcomings and charts a practical, principled way forward. By weaving in personal stories of growing up Métis on the fringes of the Peguis First Nation in Manitoba and representing First Nations in court and negotiations, McIvor brings to life the human side of the law and politics surrounding Indigenous peoples’ ongoing struggle for fairness and justice. His writing covers many of the most important issues that have become part of a national dialogue, including systemic racism, treaty rights, violence against Indigenous people, Métis identity, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) and the duty to consult. McIvor’s message is consistent and powerful: if Canadians are brave enough to confront the reality of the country’s colonialist past and present and insist that politicians replace empty promises with concrete, meaningful change, there is a realistic path forward based on respect, recognition and the implementation of Indigenous rights.Sacco & Vanzetti (New England Remembers Ser.)
