The Croix de Feu and its successor the Parti Social Francais stood
at the centre of political conflict in the turbulent final years of
the French Third Republic. Membership peaked at 750,000 in 1937,
and at the time the movement was widely regarded as the counterpart
of fascism in Germany and Italy. However, only recently has the
view that fascism also has roots in France become a serious topic
for debate. From Liberalism to Fascism is based largely on archival
research, and shows that contemporary perceptions of the Croix de
Feu and the PSF as fascist were in fact correct. Dr Passmore places
French fascism in the wider context of the history of French
conservatism through a micro-study of a crisis of the
liberal-conservative tradition in Lyon. This 1997 book was the
first to place the emergence of French fascism in the wider
political and social context. In the process, received views of the
nature of French society and politics are contested.
