About the book

"This wide-ranging and provocative book, first published in 1998, provides a stark warning of the threat posed to democracy by the French National Front Peter Fysh and Jim Wolfreys analyse the origins, organisation and ideology of the Front, and the factors which made possible its rise and repeated success, showing it to be a modernised version of fascism. This new edition assesses the Jospin government's record on anti-racism, and examines the effect of a developing grass roots social movement on the fortunes of the National Front. The authors explain how Jean Marie Le Pen was able to recover from the Front's 1999 split to emerge as the leading challenger to a discredited mainstream in the 2002 presidential election. The book concludes with an assessment of the prospects for confronting the fascist revival."--BOOK JACKET.
