Thanks for posting. Sounds like a great book. Aron was a Gaullist until they fell out over De Gaulle's remarks about Jews during the 1967 war. According to ex Australian PM Rudd, the current Chinese leadership really believe in the Marxist-Leninist approach to history, which sounds a bit like a religion. In politics, nobody has a clue what's going to happen. Today, you have to patiently explain to kids that there was a thing called the Soviet Union and it controlled half of Europe for 45 years.
It is a great book, available in English. It is well worth reading as it resonates with many things happening today. Swap MAGA for Marxism, and you are not far off things.
