The monograph is dedicated to the turbulent, dramatic events that took place in France from the mid-50s to the mid-60s. The author reveals the relationship between the rise of ultra-right forces in France in the 50s and their collapse in the early 60s with the collapse of the French colonial empire, talks about the overthrow of the Fourth Republic in May 1958, about the "week of barricades" in Algeria, about the general putsch and the "Paris conspiracy," about the bloody activities of the SLA. The book shows the heroic struggle of the democratic forces of France against the threat of neo-fascism.
