This is the first book-length study of the \u003ci\u003eLigue\u003c\/i\u003e in any language, and it is informed by the recently available archives of the organization. Founded during the Dreyfus Affair, the \u003ci\u003eLigue\u003c\/i\u003e took as its mandate the defense of human rights in all their forms. The central argument of this book--and the point on which it differs from all other writings on the subject--is that the \u003ci\u003eLigue\u003c\/i\u003e often failed to live up to its mandate because of its simultaneous commitment to left-wing politics. By the late 1930s the \u003ci\u003eLigue\u003c\/i\u003e was in disarray, and by the 1940s a number of its members opted to defend the Vichy regime of Marshal Petain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William D.
