This polarization-to which such iconic monuments as the Sacre-Coeur and the Eiffel Tower bear witness-intensified with a succession of grave events over the following decades: the crash of an investment bank founded to advance Catholic interests; the failure of the Panama Canal Company; the fraudulent charge of treason brought against a Jewish officer, Alfred Dreyfus, which resulted in a civil war between his zealous supporters and fanatical antagonists.In this brilliant reconsideration of what fostered the rise of fascism and anti-Semitism in twentieth-century Europe, Frederick Brown chronicles the intense struggle for the soul of a nation, and shows how Frances deep fractures led to its surrender to Hitlers armies in 1940.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736052597024,"sku":"NEW0307279219","price":17.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81BZTV33LxL.jpg?v=1779504112","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/for-the-soul-of-france-culture-wars-in-the-age-of-dreyfus-0307279219","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
