Title : The Wild - Thérèse Delpech - book

Summary :

Western countries have repeatedly believed they had warded off barbarism. First in 1945, after the victory over Nazism, and then in 1989, after the fall of Soviet communism, a new era seemed to be dawning. We know today that the contemporary world is still a world fraught with risks, given the power of the means of destruction and the radical nature of the ideologies.

The Iranian nuclear saga, North Korean blackmail, the seriousness of the Taiwan issue, and Sino-Japanese hostility all show that international terrorism is far from being the only or main peril of the century. In 1905, too, people thought they could look to the future with optimism: less than ten years later, war broke out. Will we be more clear-sighted and more responsible than our ancestors?
