Drawing on extensive research into the associations' organisation, policies and tactics, this study argues that French veterans were more of a threat to democracy than previous scholarship has allowed. As France descended into crisis, the UF and the UNC sought to extend their influence into the non-veteran milieu through public demonstrations, propaganda campaigns and the foundation of auxiliary groups. Despite shifting policies and independent initiatives, by the end of the 1930s the UF and the UNC had come together in a campaign for authoritarian political reform, leaving them perfectly placed to become the 'eyes and ears' of Marshal Pe?tain's Vichy regime. Offering an original contribution to the history of late Third Republican political culture, From victory to Vichy will appeal to students and scholars of modern France and Europe."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aCultural history of modern war. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xVeterans$zFrance$xSocieties, etc$xHistory 606 $aVeterans$zFrance$xSocieties, etc$xHistory 607 $aFrance$xHistory$y1914-1940 607 $aFrance$xPolitics and government$y1914-1940 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xVeterans$xSocieties, etc.$xHistory. 615 0$aVeterans$xSocieties, etc.$xHistory. 676 $a369.244 700 $aMillington$b Chris$01036096 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462357803321 996 $aFrom victory to Vichy$92456232 997 $aUNINA
