Ohio Northern University Professor of History Michael B. Loughlin recently published a political biography of the infamous French socialist and later national socialist Gustave Hervé.
Loughlin’s volume is titled “From Revolutionary Theater to Reactionary Litanies: Gustave Hervé (1871-1944) at the Extremes of the French Third Republic” (New York, Frankfurt, Paris, Zurich, etc.:Peter Lang Company, December 2015).
“Hervé was the most notorious French antimilitarist in the years before World War I, by which time he gradually had transformed into a major chauvinist and supporter of the French war effort,” Loughlin explained.
