"Between Justice and Politics is a profoundly insightful and revisionist re-reading of one of the sacred cows of the Third Republic, the Ligue des droits de l'homme. Irvine knows the political milieu of the Ligue better than anyone, and he draws on his vast knowledge of French political history to provide a narrative that is provocatively analytical, as well as, quite simply, an excellent read. The importance of this book goes well beyond the history of the Ligue. . . . Irvine has produced a book which is rich in comment on the wider question of the nature of the Third Republic, the reasons for its downfall, the contested legacy of Vichy, and the impact of the Great War on French society."--Norman Ingram, Concordia University, Montreal
