French Peasant Fascism

Henry Dorgères' Greenshirts and the Crises of French Agriculture, 1929-1939

By: Robert O. Paxton

French Peasant Fascism is the first account of the Greenshirts, a militant right-wing peasant movement in 1930s France that sought to transform the Republic into an authoritarian, agrarian state. Author Robert Paxton examines the Greenshirts in five case studies, throwing new light on French rural society and institutions during the Depression and on the emergence of a new rural leadership of authentic farmers. Paxton points out that fascism remained weak in the French countryside because the French state protected landowners more effectively than did those of Weimar Germany and Italy, and because French rural notables were so firmly embedded in social and economic power. Although the Greenshirts disappeared with the Third Republic, they left a double legacy: a tradition of peasant direct action, which is still exercised today; and the idea of France as a peasant nation, whose identity and virtues rest upon the persistence of a large peasant sector. That self-image continues to influence French policy choices today, long after the social structure on which it rested has disappeared.

The Dalton Family Adventures

By: Robert O. French

The Dalton Family Adventures is a collection of fictitious historic characters famous and not so famous. They worked to become what many others strive to be and to accomplish, and eventually they reaped a lifetime of beneficial dividends. Their mentors willingly shared some of life's greatest secrets and took the time to teach the insights and wisdom. Knowing if others can do something, I can do it also and perhaps even better than the teachers. The life-changing truths revealed on the pages of this work of historic fiction will change the real lives of all who take the time to read and apply what is taught to the characters.
