The Paris riots of February 1934 marked a pivotal moment in interwar France, nearly toppling the democratic regime as fascist rioters clashed with citizens. This event catalyzed a deep political polarization, leading to a surge in membership for extreme right-wing paramilitary leagues and the left-wing Popular Front coalition.

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of this critical historical moment.
