At least three books have appeared in the last two years warning about the nature of Germany and possible conflicts, and even wars, to come. The authors differ on how France should act to meet the threat represented by Germany, but all agree that missteps could well spell future German domination of France, Europe and perhaps beyond. The next war Essayist Phillipe Delmas has written a book called De la prochaine guerre avec l'Allemagne (Of the Next War With Germany, published by Editions Odile Jacob). Mr. Delmas begins by saying very bluntly: "Fear of Germany is back. It (that fear) is already the greatest political force in Europe as well as the most widely shared feeling. The reunification (of Germany) did not bring about this fear, it liberated it. It laid bare the fact that the European construction and the Cold War were simply ways of restraining Germany and the fear it inspires" (p. 11; all translations in this article are mine-JM).
