A comprehensive new historical study of the extreme right in
France, from the Vichy regime to the present day. The Front
National has for some years been France's third political party and
the most significant extreme-right force in Europe; its leader,
Jean-Marie Le Pen, contested the second round of the 2002
presidential election with 5.5 million votes. This wide-ranging and
authoritative book examines the resurgence of right-wing extremism
in France from a historical perspective, tracing the political
lineage of Le Pen and the FN through key figures and movements on
the French extreme right since 1940. Part 1 devotes chapters to the
Vichy regime, the aftermath of the Occupation, the Poujadist
movement, the Algerian War, the 'Nouvelle Droite', and
extreme-right ideology and activism in the 1960s and 1970s. Part 2
analyzes the electoral rise of the FN, its evolving programme and
exploitation of salient issues, the geography and sociology of its
electorate, its exercise of local power, and its impact on national
political culture in contemporary France. The FN, it is argued,
represents both the latest manifestation of a long tradition of
right-wing radicalism and a complex new phenomenon within the
changing social and political dynamics of France today. This is an
essential book for all readers with an interest in French and
European politics and modern history.
