Février 1692. Sous les toits des MacDonald, des soldats du gouvernement partagent repas, chaleur et histoires avec leurs hôtes. Pendant deux semaines, les familles de Glencoe pratiquent l'hospitalité sacrée des Highlands, sans se douter qu'elles hébergent leurs futurs bourreaux. Cette deuxième partie du documentaire explore la période la plus troublante du massacre de Glencoe : ces quatorze jours où les soldats ont vécu en proximité avec leurs victimes, partageant leur quotidien, jouant avec leurs enfants, buvant leur whisky. Comment ces hommes ont-ils pu dissimuler leurs intentions ? Quels liens se sont tissés pendant cette cohabitation ? Et comment ont-ils réagi lorsque l'ordre d'exécuter leurs hôtes est finalement arrivé ?Pour approfondir vos connaissances, voici la bibliographie complète :- Dalrymple, John (Master of Stair).

Dans ce troisième épisode bouleversant des "Montagnes Se Souviennent", nous assistons à l'ultime trahison lorsque des soldats violent le code sacré de l'hospitalité des Highlands. Pendant deux semaines, les soldats du gouvernement ont vécu sous les toits des MacDonald, partageant leur pain, leur whisky et leurs histoires. Puis vinrent les ordres d'Édimbourg qui transformèrent les hôtes en bourreaux. Revivez la terrible nuit du 12 février 1692, lorsque le capitaine Robert Campbell de Glenlyon reçut ses ordres, et l'aube fatidique du 13 février, quand les coups de mousquet brisèrent le silence hivernal. Cet épisode nous confronte à des questions intemporelles sur les choix moraux face à des ordres immoraux, alors que certains soldats prévinrent leurs hôtes tandis que d'autres accomplissaient leur sanglant devoir avec une précision mécanique.Pour approfondir vos connaissances, voici la bibliographie complète :- Dalrymple, John (Master of Stair).

Anniversaries are funny things. Sometimes, as with the hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War, they are accompanied by a flood of discussion and debate.  Other times they are allowed to pass in silence. The hundredth year anniversary of the Genocide of the Armenians has gotten somewhat lost amidst the outpouring of books about the war.  Still, we’ve seen a small number of excellent historical studies, mostly focused on the memory of the event. Ron Suny’s recent book ‘They Can Live in the Desert but Nowhere Else’:  A History of the Armenian Genocide (Princeton University Press, 2015) offers a different kind of contribution.  Suny offers a deep history of the Armenian genocide.  It is simultaneously a careful explication of how and why the Armenians were killed and a carefully-reasoned engagement with the prevailing attempts to explain the genocide. It’s a book everyone who cares about the genocide needs to read.  Suny writes well and has an eye for quotes both pithy and grim.  He fits well into the new imperial turn of historiography, seeing the emergence of the nation as a locus of identity that competed with and threatened more traditional, imperial states (for those of you interested in this, see my interview with Mark Levene).   And he masters the tricky task of balancing narration and analysis.  It’s a wonderful addition to our knowledge of the genocide, 100 years on.  It well deserves to reach a wide audience.

I imagine one of the greatest compliments an author of an historical monograph can receive is to hear that his or her book changed the way a subject is taught. I will do just that after reading Mark Levene‘s new two volume work The Crisis of Genocide (2 Vols. Devastation:  The European Rimlands, 1912-1938; Annihilation and The European Rimlands, 1938-1953) (Oxford University Press, 2014).  These books, a continuation of Mark’s earlier volumes titled Genocide in the Age of the Nation State, offer a rich and thought-provoking analysis of the ways in which the changing expectations and culture of the international system interacted with local events and personalities to drive mass violence.  The work is more analytical than narrative.  It is complex and requires careful attention to argument and evidence.  But it amply repays this effort with a reading of modern European history that made me rethink how I understood the period.  I learned much from the book about the details of violence in Anatolia and the Balkans.  But it was his broader treatment of the changing norms  of international relations that really made me think hard. Levene’s earlier volume established his work as a must-read for historians of genocide and mass violence.  His new volumes deserve equal praise. Learn more about your ad choices.
