\u00c9tat et d\u00e9tails de cet exemplaire<\/h2>\n

No historical event has exerted more influence on America\u2019s post\u2013World War II use of military force than the Anglo-French appeasement of Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Informed by the supposed grand lesson of Munich\u2013namely, that capitulating to the demands of aggressive dictatorships invites further aggression and makes inevitable a larger war\u2013American presidents from Harry Truman through George W. Bush have relied on the Munich analogy not only to interpret perceived security threats but also to mobilize public opinion for military action. In The Specter of Munich , noted defense analyst Jeffrey Record takes an unconventional look at a disastrous chapter in Western diplomatic history. After identifying the complex considerations behind the Anglo-French appeasement of Hitler and the reasons for the policy\u2019s failure, Record disputes the stock thesis that unchecked aggression always invites further aggression. He proceeds to identify other lessons of the 1930s more relevant to meeting today\u2019s U.S. foreign policy and security challenges. Among those lessons are the severe penalties that foreign policy miscalculation can incur, the constraints of public opinion in a modern democracy, and the virtue of consistency in threatening and using force. The Specter of Munich concludes that though today\u2019s global political, military, and economic environment differs considerably from that of the 1930s, the United States is making some of the same strategic mistakes in its war on terrorism that the British and French made in their attempts to protect themselves against Nazi Germany.

R\u00e9sum\u00e9 de he Specter of Munich: Reconsidering the Lessons of Appeasing Hitler<\/h2>\n

Cet ouvrage de Jeffrey Record examine l'apaisement franco-britannique envers l'Allemagne nazie dans les ann\u00e9es 1930. L'auteur analyse les consid\u00e9rations complexes qui ont conduit \u00e0 cette politique et les raisons de son \u00e9chec. Il remet en cause la th\u00e8se selon laquelle une agression non contr\u00e9e appelle toujours une agression suppl\u00e9mentaire. Record d\u00e9gage d'autres le\u00e7ons de cette p\u00e9riode, notamment les lourdes cons\u00e9quences d'une erreur d'appr\u00e9ciation en politique \u00e9trang\u00e8re, les contraintes de l'opinion publique dans une d\u00e9mocratie moderne et l'importance de la coh\u00e9rence dans la menace et l'usage de la force. Selon l'auteur, malgr\u00e9 les diff\u00e9rences avec le monde actuel, les \u00c9tats-Unis commettent certaines des m\u00eames erreurs strat\u00e9giques dans leur guerre contre le terrorisme.<\/p>\n
