★★★★★ Excellent ouvrage

Excellent ouvrage qui fait ressortir de façon saillante les principaux leviers historiques de la puissance occidentale depuis 1500, et plus généralement les principaux facteurs de grandeurs et décadences chez différentes civilisations au cours des derniers siècles

This is a wonderful, thought-provoking, but sadly undisciplined book. It's wonderful because Ferguson takes us on a erudite romp through history, ranging from Zhong He's 15th century African voyages to the siege of Vienna in 1680 to the foibles of the French in 19th century Africa to 21st century Christianity in China Thought-provoking because it ask the right questions: Why has the West been more successful than other cultures, and what is needed to maintain the bene ts that Western civilization has brought, not just in the West but throughout the world. (In another time and place, these questions might be less thought provoking, but in the current intellectual climate -- when one can be charged with racism merely for suggesting that not all cultures are equally conducive to human ourishing -- his ideas plow intellectual ground that for too many will be new terrain e
