Kennedy, le 22 novembre 1963 à Dallas, qui peut dire ce que l'on sait avec certitude ? Magistrats, journalistes, cinéastes : tous y vont de leur théorie, remettant sans cesse en question la culpabilité de Lee Harvey Oswald. Bien des supposées anomalies ont pourtant été expliquées : celles de l'homme au parapluie ouvert, des clochards de Dealey Plaza trop bien habillés ou encore la fameuse piste française de l'OAS, du Milieu corse ou marseillais, évoquée par un quotidien basque et qui alimente, depuis, les spéculations... Comme bien d'autres, elle montre surtout l'étrange facilité avec laquelle une hypothèse devient, au fil du temps, indiscutable. Vincent Quivy décortique les théories et démêle la réalité des fantasmes. Toutes les recherches, toutes les analyses techniques, sont ici passées au crible. Une brillante démonstration, un vrai thriller, et un récit passionnant. " -- 4e de couv.By Tony Dungy, Nathan Whitaker. 2008

Pat Quinn was the tough working-class kid who had fought his way to the very top of the hockey world.…
He had butted heads with superstars, with management, and with the league itself. And he had also succeeded at every level, finishing his journeyman's career as the captain of an NHL team, then quickly emerged as one of the best coaches in the league. He gathered executive titles like hockey cards, and done things his own way, picking up a law degree along the way. He was brash, dour, and abrasive--and people loved him for his alloy of pugnacity and flair, his three-piece suits and cigars, his Churchillian heft and his scowl.

An exposure of historical and contemporary practices of state-sanctioned violence against Black lives in Canada. Dispels many prevailing myths that…
cast Canada as a land of benevolence and racial equality, and uncovers long-standing state practices that have restricted Black freedom. Creates a framework that makes legible how anti-Blackness has influenced the construction of Canada's carceral landscape, including the development and application of numerous criminal law enforcement and border regulation practices. Traces the historical and contemporary mobilization of anti-Blackness spanning from slavery, 19th and 20th century segregation practices, and the application of early drug and prostitution laws through to the modern era. Maynard makes visible the ongoing legacy of a demonized and devalued Blackness that is manifest today as racial profiling by police, immigration agents and social services, the over-representation of Black communities in jails and prisons, anti-Black immigration detention and deportation practices, the over-representation of Black youth in state care, the school-to-prison pipeline and gross economic inequality.

Responsable du lancement de la bombe atomique sur Hiroshima (60 000 morts) et Nagasaki (80 000 morts), Harry S. Truman…
se vantait de ne jamais avoir éprouvé le moindre remords. À un journaliste qui lui demandait si la décision avait été moralement difficile à prendre, il répondit en claquant des doigts : Je l'ai fait comme ça. Trente ans plus tard, l'offensive du Vietcong pulvérisa l'armée sud-vietnamienne. Richard Nixon envisagea de faire sauter les digues et les centrales électriques. Au risque de noyer deux cent mille personnes ?, objecta Henry Kissinger. Réponse de Nixon : Non, je préférerais utiliser la bombe atomique. Je crois que ce serait quand même un peu excessif , répondit Kissinger. La bombe, ça vous gêne ? Allons Henry, un peu de largeur de vue, bon sang ! , rétorqua Nixon. Ces confessions donnent la mesure de la responsabilité historique des présidents américains. Inconscients, parfois criminels par procuration, souvent sous influence de faucons , comme l'a encore montré la dernière guerre d'Irak, avec ses 200 000 morts. Démystificatrice, provocatrice, cette vaste fresque de l'histoire contemporaine de l'Amérique, qui remet en cause sa légitimité sur la scène internationale, a déclenché une importante controverse. Les auteurs, pour le livre comme pour la série TV, ont analysé dans leurs moindres détails les archives américaines, russes, anglaises, allemandes et japonaises. 2014.
