It is not strength of character or the determination of a people that wins the day, but rather a combination of intimidation and bluff.   With this vivid, compelling history, Éric Vuillard warns against the peril of willfully blind acquiescence, and offers a reminder that, ultimately, the worst is not inescapable.…
