Book: Reconciling France against Democracy: The Croix de Feu and the Parti Social Français, 1927-1945

On a nationalist movement in interwar France: Sean Kennedy (University of New Brunswick), "Reconciling France against Democracy: The Croix de Feu and the Parti Social Français, 1927-1945" (McGill-Queen's University Press, February 2007).

Quote: "Previous studies have focused on whether the Croix de Feu and the Parti Social Français should be considered fascist. Reconciling France against Democracy assesses them from a variety of perspectives and considers the extent to which they foreshadowed Jean-Marie Le Pen's Front National. ... [A]uthoritarian nationalist groups can fail to attain power yet still exert a profound influence on a nation's political culture."
