The Tyranny of Guilt

An Essay on Western Masochism

by Pascal Bruckner ...

Translated by Steven Rendall ...

Fascism, communism, genocide, slavery, racism, imperialism--the West has no shortage of reasons for guilt. And, indeed, since the Holocaust and the end of World War II, Europeans in particular have been consumed by remorse. But Pascal Bruckner argues that guilt has now gone too far. It has become a pathology, and even an obstacle to fighting today's atrocities. Bruckner, one of France's leading ... Read more

Genocide, Eliminationism, and the Ongoing Assault on Humanity

by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen ...

Creating Russophobia

From the Great Religious Schism to Anti-Putin Hysteria

hy do the USA, UK and Europe so hate Russia? How is it that Western antipathy, once thought due to anti-Communism, could be so easily revived over a crisis in distant Ukraine, against a Russia no longer communist? Why does the West accuse Russia of empire-building, when 15 states once part of the defunct Warsaw Pact are now part of NATO, and NATO troops now flank the Russian border? These are ... Read more

How Cultures of Fear, Humiliation, and Hope are Reshaping the World

by Dominique Moisi ...

In the first book to investigate the far-reaching emotional impact of globalization, Dominique Moïsi shows how the geopolitics of today is characterized by a “clash of emotions.” The West, he argues, is dominated and divided by fear. For Muslims and Arabs, a culture of humiliation is quickly devolving into a culture of hatred. Asia, on the other hand, has been able to concentrate on building a ... Read more

Using Human Rights to Sell War

by Jean Bricmont ...

Translated by Diana Johnstone ...
