Format: Paperback
The background of this book is the general French amnesia about the Vichy period and its precursors. As Sternhell points out, the "National Revolution" of the Petain regime, with its considerable fascist elements and its strong popular support, didn't spring from a vacuum. Sternhell traces the strong intellectual lineage of French fascist movements back to the late 19th century. Fundamentally, all these movements were characterized by rejection of liberal democracy, Marxist-based socialism, and a general disgust with rationalism and materialism. These movements were accompanied often by a search for "Third Way" to achieve revolutionary social transformation. The intellectuals involved tended to come from 2 sources; radical rightist who wished to reject many, many features of industrial society and liberal demoncracy, and far left thinkers disillusioned with Marxism who gradually moved towards radical nationalism. Sternhell focuses more on the latter than the former. Many readers will be familiar with this part of the story from Sternhell's outstanding book, The Birth of Fascist Ideology, which covers some fo the same ground.

Sternhell shows this phenomenon to be a recurrent feature of French intellectual life from at least the 1890s onward. Successive waves of converging radical right and radical left figures, often strongly influenced by their predecessors in prior generations, would often come to the same fascist or quasi-fascist positions. Sternhell shows well that the hard core of these explicitly radical or fascist thinkers was surrounded by a considerable penumbra of other and arguably more mainstream figures who shared at least some of the radicals' ideas.
