Presentation

We are no longer dealing with wars between states but explosions of violence, that we can never predict, that strike innocent populations. The field of war has widened: it is no longer a battlefield where dying is acceptable, but a permanent state of terror. What is war, without a face-to-face, without a victory or a defeat, without a beginning or an end? In what sense is war a metaphor for the human condition?
