‎Voyage en Icarie. Deux ouvriers viennois aux Etats-Unis en 1855. Textes établis et présentés par Fernand Rude.‎

‎PUF, 1952, in-8°, x-308 pp, préface de André Siegfried, 8 pl. de portraits, gravures, carte et fac-similés, broché, bon état. Edition originale‎

‎Les souvenirs d'un voyage aux États-Unis en 1855, par Jean-Francois Cretinon et François-Marie Lacour (de Vienne sur le Rhône), partis rejoindre la colonie icarienne de Nauvoo. Le séjour se poursuit par un long périple à travers les États-Unis. — "L'aventure icarienne aux Etats-Unis dans la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle a donné lieu à une vaste littérature, à laquelle est venue s'ajouter, ces dernieres années, la publication de témoignages inédits d'anciens Icariens. Le livre “Allons en Icarie. Deux ouvriers viennois aux Etats-Unis en 1855”, présenté par I'historien Fernand Rude, est construit autour des récits laissés par Jean-Francois Crétinon et Francois-Marie Lacour, deux icariens déçus. Ainsi que le signale Fernand Rude, chaque membre doit, selon la 47e condition d'admission rédigée par Cabet, pour être admis au sein de la communauté, remettre à son arrivée la chronique de son voyage. Dans l'introduction, longue et fort documentée, Rude resitue l'épopée des deux Viennois dans son contexte et en comble les nombreuses lacunes." (Diana Cooper-Richet, Le Mouvement social) — "Les quatre-vingts pages d'introduction du livre constituent une importante contribution à l'histoire et à la sociologie de l'utopie cabétiste. Oui, utopie, car il s'agit bien d'une idéologie personnelle, indépendante de toute structure économique, aboutissant à une société créée de toutes pièces sur des bases strictement morales. Cette idéologie utopiste portait le même nom qu'une doctrine dont les tenants affirment qu'elle est le contraire d'une utopie, mais bien la résultante prévue de données économiques et sociales nécessaires, et elle en diffère profondément. Par contre, elle a des rapports certains avec le babouvisme, l'owénisme, et il est possible que le mouvement italien actuel connu sous le nom de Comunità ait quelques liens avec la Communauté de Cabet. Mais il faut voir une autre parenté de celle-ci, celle qui l'attache au fouriérisme, propagateur de phalanstères. C'est, en effet, un système de type phalanstérien dont Cabet adonné le plan dans son Voyage en Icarie paru, sous sa première forme, en 1839-1840. L'œuvre a eu un immense succès, français et international. Elle a eu une résonance singulière à Vienne, l'une des neuf villes de France abondantes en communistes actifs : soixante-deux abonnés au Populaire contre seize à Grenoble, voilà une indication chiffrée qui a sa valeur, et il n'est pas étonnant que, dans le premier contingent d'Icariens qui décident, en février 1848, de partir pour le Texas, il y ait un Viennois. La foi des cabétistes dans leur messie ne devait pas être bousculée par les premiers échecs : en 1849, en 1850, il y eut de nouveaux départs auxquels participèrent encore des Viennois, et, en 1855, cinq familles de Vienne, réunissant dix-huit personnes, partirent pour Nauvoo. Ce sont les papiers de deux de ces familles qui, mis à la disposition de M. Rude, lui ont permis de dégager les journaux de voyage de deux des partants et qu'il publie. L'une des relations est de J.-F. Crétinon, ouvrier imprimeur, l'autre de F.-M. Lacour, compagnon chapelier : deux témoignages qui se complètent étroitement, mais qui émanent de deux individualités très différentes, dont l'éditeur a bien marqué les caractères propres. M. Rude a pris comme base de son édition le texte de Crétinon, joignant, en caractères italiques, les parties du journal de Lacour qui ne sont pas un simple remaniement du texte de Crétinon..."

‎Creating the Secret State : The Origins of the Central Intelligence Agency, 1943-1947‎

‎Quato in pale yellow jacket; 244 pages ; 24 cm; bibliographical references (pages 223-228) and index. "David Rudgers, a twenty-two-year CIA veteran, has written an account of its creation, revealing how the idea of a centralized intelligence developed within the government and debunking the myth that former OSS chief William J. Donovan was the prime mover behind the agency's founding." "Creating the Secret State locates the CIA's origins in government-wide efforts to reorganize national security during the transition from World War II to the Cold War." "Based almost entirely on archival and other primary sources, Rudgers's book describes in detail how the CIA evolved from its original purpose - as a watchdog to guard against a "nuclear Pearl Harbor"--To the role of clandestine warriors countering Soviet subversion, eventually engaging in more forms of intelligence gathering and covert operations than any of its counterparts."--Jacket.
