World geopolitics from 1945 to the present day in comics
In this age of globalisation, can we understand the contemporary world without knowing the chain of events that have shaped it, the logic of rivalries and the confrontations between powers?
The rise and fall of the bipolar world, decolonisation, the challenge of nuclear weapons, the globalisation of the economy, the emergence of new powers… none of these aspects are isolated, they are part of a great interconnected history played out by extraordinary actors, from Roosevelt to Trump, via de Gaulle, Mao, Castro, Mandela and Putin.
The geopolitologist Pascal Boniface, known for his pedagogical clarity, deciphers the main workings of the major historical events since 1945 and their current consequences. A fascinating account, judiciously illustrated by the cartoonist Tommy, who adds explanatory maps and a welcome touch of humour to a vast gallery of portraits. We learn and understand with a smile.
