A series of 15 articles to come in WUKALI: The XXth century, a century of iron and blood.

par Pierre-Alain Lévy

This is a series of 15 articles devoted to contemporary history that WUKALI is about to publish under the signature of Jacques Trauman. The preamble title of the series: The XXth century, a century of iron and blood. The story of three of the worst dictators and tyrants the world has ever known: Stalin, Hitler and Mao Zedong (aside from Tamerlane and other happy cavalcading and bloodthirsty drilles from the most distant past). These three leaders of Russia (ex-USSR), Germany or China, have decided the deaths of tens of millions of men, women and children. Is there a need to develop more than we already know?

We might think that all of this is known, analyzed, condemned, judged, so many books, research, documentations exist and that living witnesses are still there to share with us the story of their hells. We might also consider that adding one more bookish and media exercise to this gigantic intellectual body of research is simply pointless, superfluous to put it even better. Alas, we must be disillusioned, the historical or more precisely political memory of men is a fragile thing, of a cultural nature for lack of its psychological or even psychoanalytic aspect. However, this is not about repressed, but about tactics of taking power, not to say intellectual perversity!

Brought back to today, this radical Islamism which now targets our European societies, our lifestyles, our way of being in the world and of living together in a democracy, should not replace all these “isms” either. which marked and defiled the past century.

What is history for, what should we conclude from it for our time, what lessons can we learn from it?

First of all, a little modesty, and courage, an effort to face reality without affect if that even, and above all, does not please us. Don’t make the same mistakes!

Jacques Trauman, in this series of articles we are publishing The XXth Century, a Century of Iron and Blood, has drawn on the work of illustrious historians and their books to revive this history of the world, of our world. Give an account of what this twentieth century was like with these cold Communist, Nazi or Maoist monsters and their epigons of course! In this regard, there are no sharks without pilot fish, nor dung beetles without livestock.
