Description

Book Synopsis
This book, by a renowned and distinguished historian, is an arresting account of the role that resentment has played throughout history, from Antiquity and early Christianity through to the present day. At the origin of resentment we always find an injury, an act of humiliation, an affront, a trauma.

Trade Review
"Ferro's eye for telling details and his acute aperçus keep the reader engaged. Characteristically, he also makes effective use of quotations from the history of cinema to illustrate his thesis throughout the book."
Australian Journal of Politics and History

"Marc Ferro's account of the dark force of resentment and revenge in modern times is a salutary reminder how much history of a high order can contribute to an understanding of our turbulent world. If you think fundamentalist Islam came out of the blue, then read this book and think again."
Jay Winter, Yale University
