The Invention of Terrorism in France, 1904-1939 (Stanford UP, 2023) investigates the political and social imaginaries of 'terrorism' in early twentieth-century France. Chris Millington traces the development of how the French conceived of terrorism, from the late nineteenth-century notion that terrorism was the deed of the mad anarchist bomber, to the the fraught political clashes of the 1930s when terrorism came to be understood as a political act perpetrated against French interests by organized international movements.  Through a close analysis of a series of terrorist incidents and representations thereof in public discourse and the press, the book argues that contemporary ideas of terrorism in France as 'unFrench'--i.e., contrary to the ideas and values, however defined, that make up 'Frenchness'--emerged in the interwar years and subsequently took root long before the terrorist campaigns of Algerian nationalists during the 1950s and 1960s. Millington conceptualizes 'terrorism' not only as the act itself, but also as a political and cultural construction of violence composed from a variety of discourses and deployed in particular circumstances by commentators, witnesses, and perpetrators. In doing so, he argues that the political and cultural battles inherent to perceptions of terrorism lay bare numerous concerns, not least anxieties over immigration, antiparliamentarianism, representations of gender, and the future of European peace. Roland Clark is a Reader in Modern European History at the University of Liverpool, a Senior Fellow with the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right, and the Principal Investigator of an AHRC-funded project on European Fascist Movements.

FASCISM...FRANCE. Two words/ideas that scholars have spent much time and energy debating in relationship to one another. Chris Millington's A History of Fascism in France: From the First World War to the National Front (Bloomsbury, 2019) is a work of synthesis that also draws on the author's own research for key examples and evidence to support its narrative and claims. Moving chronologically, the book's chapters take the reader from the impact of the First World War right up to the contemporary period in French politics, culture, and society. A narrative and analysis focused on the French context, the book situates France within a broader European frame. Engaging the complex historiographic battles surrounding French fascism in ways that will be helpful to non-specialists, and especially to student readers, the book condenses decades of previous scholarship while delving into concrete cases and moments that help to illustrate the stakes of this historical and political field. Examining movements like the Croix-de-Feu, Faisceau, Jeunesses Patriotes, Partie Social Français, and the Cagoulards within the broader interwar landscape of right-wing thought and politics, the book goes on to consider the Vichy period and the emergence of the National Front after the Second World War. *Special note: Chris and I ran out of time before I could ask him about what he's been working on since the publication of A History of Fascism in France. Readers may also be interested in his most recent book, France in the Second World War: Collaboration, Resistance, Holocaust, Empire (Bloomsbury, 2020). Roxanne Panchasi is an Associate Professor of History at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada who specializes in twentieth and twenty-first century France and its empire. If you have a recent title to suggest for the podcast, please send her an email (panchasi@sfu.ca).

In this episode, we are joined by historian, professor, and author of the book France in the Second World War, Chris Millington. With him, we take a deep, reevaluating look at the 1940 fall of France, questioning the popular narrative of French cowardice, lack of preparation, and inferior military capability as being the reasons for their defeat. From internal struggles amongst generals, to recognizing that it was not just a French failure, but rather an Allied failure, to looking at how the events during the Summer of 1940 impacted politics around the world in the years after, we explore what makes the fall of France History's Most Misunderstood Defeat.

Chronique « Lire la politique » : Luce Perrot reçoit Didier Leschi pour son livre « L'Histoire refoulée – La Rocque, les Croix de feu et le fascisme français » de Zeev Sternhell et Didier Leschi aux éditions du Cerf À propos du livre : "L'Histoire refoulée – La Rocque, les Croix de feu et le fascisme français" aux éditions du Cerf Qui furent vraiment les Croix de feu et le colonel de la Rocque ? Vichy fut-il un accident ? Zeev Sternhell, Didier Leschi et des spécialistes internationaux revisitent l'un des sujets les plus brûlants des droites françaises de l'entre-deux guerres. Y a-t-il eu, dans l'entre-deux-guerres, un fascisme français ? Pourquoi cette question demeure-t-elle une controverse historique majeure ? En quoi conditionne-t- elle non seulement notre passé, mais aussi notre présent ? Et qui furent vraiment, pour commencer, le colonel La Rocque et les Croix de feu, qui comptèrent plus d'un million d'adhérents à leur apogée ? Rouvrant ce dossier brûlant en compagnie des meilleurs spécialistes, le grand historien Zeev Sternhell en instruit toutes les zones d'ombre. L'enfièvrement populaire et le culte du chef charismatique, la propension corporatiste et le rejet de la démocratie parlementaire, l'inclination antisémite et l'exaltation du pouvoir autoritaire : chacune de ces dimensions idéologiques fait ici l'objet d'une enquête sans préjugés, mais aussi sans concessions. Un livre qui fera date sur les méthodes et les finalités en historiographie contemporaine. Un essai qui fera débat parmi les savants, les politiques et par-delà. Didier Leschi ainsi que Caroline Campbell, Samuel Kalman, Laurent Kestel, Chris Millington et Kevin Passmore entourent ici Zeev Sternhell, professeur à l'université hébraïque de Jérusalem, lauréat du prix Israël en science politique, et l'auteur, entre autres, de Ni droite, ni gauche : l'idéologie fasciste en France, classé parmi les contributions majeures à l'histoire du xxe siècle.
