History and its interpretations (1998)

This book underlines what is a stake in the learning of history in Europe. History plays a key political function in Europe today, allowing as it can for better understanding, tolerance and trust between individuals and nations of Europe. Without this knowledge, and hopefully objectivity, this subject brings, the individual may become more vulnerable to political or religious manipulation. History in the "wrong hands" can thus be a force for division, violence and intolerance.
This book contains contributions from personalities from the world of academe and the media.
