Résumé
The Gulf crisis of August 1990. Lessons for the histofian, Robert Ilbert. Just when historians are making the most mistakes, they are being asked from all directions to legitimate current deeds. Avoid the trap of obvious comparisons, of reconstitutive genealogies or causes bereft of their context : that is one of the lessons historians should learn from the August 1990 Gulf crisis before they are too much tempted to give advice.
