Introduction by Christopher Chataway. First edition. 8vo.pp.224 + black & white plates. Previous owners inscription and bookshop label to end paper. Blue cloth hardcover no dust wrapper. "In Defiance: The Life of Francois de la Rocque" by Francoise Rigby delves into the life of Francois de la Rocque, a controversial French political figure and leader of the right-wing Croix-de-Feu movement during the interwar period. The book traces his journey from a decorated World War I hero to a significant political player in the turbulent 1930s France. Rigby examines de la Rocque's transformation from a nationalist to a Resistance member during World War II, highlighting his complex character, ideological shifts, and his role in the broader context of French politics. Through meticulous research and engaging narrative, Rigby sheds light on an enigmatic and often misunderstood figure in French history.
