  • The Extreme Right in Interwar France

    The Faisceau and the Croix de Feu

    by Samuel Kalman ...
    Historians of the French extreme right frequently denote the existence of a strong xenophobic and nationalist tradition dating from the 1880s, a perpetual anti-republicanism which pervaded twentieth-century political discourse.

  • The French Right Between the Wars

    Political and Intellectual Movements from Conservatism to Fascism

    Edited by Samuel Kalman, Sean Kennedy ...
    During the interwar years France experienced severe political polarization.

  • Choices in Vichy France

    The French Under Nazi Occupation

    by John Sweets ...

    From the Thirties to the Postwar Era

    by Philip Nord ...
    France's New Deal is an in-depth and important look at the remaking of the French state after World War II, a time when the nation was endowed with brand-new institutions for managing its economy and culture.

  • Reconciling France against Democracy

    The Croix de Feu and the Parti Social Français, 1927-1945

    by Sean M. Kennedy ...
    Kennedy describes how the Croix de Feu promised to restore patriotic unity to France but instead demonized the organization's enemies as unfit to be French; its successor, the Parti Social Français, professed a respect for democracy but actually promoted an authoritarian nationalist vision. Previous studies have focused on whether the Croix de Feu and the Parti Social Français should be considered ... Read more

    Algeria 1954-1962

    by Alistair Horne ...
