- One of the world's preeminent historians, Marc Ferro is a leading member of the Annales School and a recognized authority on twentieth-century European history.
- This book examines the idea of resentment in history Ð the kind of brooding anger that results from some kind of humiliation or trauma and leads to a violent act of revolt or revenge.
- Ferro uses a wide range of examples, from the Ancient world and early Christianity right up to the emergence of black power, the rise of Islamic terrorism and 9/11.
- This will appeal to students and scholars of history and politics, and to interested general readers.
