de telles extrémités ? Où conduisent-elles ? C'est à ces questions et à beaucoup d'autres que répond cette Histoire du terrorisme. A travers une série d'exemples types, Dominique Venner retrace ici la plus dramatique et la moins connue des histoires. Avec lui, on voit comment naissent les révoltes, d'où viennent les acteurs, comment ils justifient la terreur, quelles complicités leur profitent, quelles angoisses les habitent. On mesure également leurs limites, leurs victoires, leurs échecs. On découvre qu'enfant de notre époque, le terrorisme en est la figure monstrueuse mais parfois désirée, car la frontière est souvent floue qui sépare le terrorisme de la résistance à l'oppression et aux humiliations." -- 4e de couv
