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 P�etain'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.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2011.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries.20aUnion nationale des combattantsxHistory.20aUnion f�ed�eralexHistory. 0aWorld War, 1914-1918xVeteranszFrancexSocieties, etc.xHistory. 0aVeteranszFrancexSocieties, etc.xHistory. 0aFrancexHistoryy1914-1940. 0aFrancexPolitics and governmenty1914-1940. 7aElectronic books.2local2 aebrary, Inc.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10627267zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c66744d66744
