This book is the first to investigate the problems that committed Catholics allegedly faced if they sought careers in state employment under the Third Republic in France. Using ministerial, Masonic, and ecclesiastical archives, including Vatican papers hitherto unused, it examines the factors underlying these discriminatory attitudes--notably the claims of Catholic involvement in the right-wing subversive activities of the late 1890s--while later chapters explore the degree to which these attitudes evaporated under later regimes, despite the traumas of the Vichy years.

This comprehensive and readable history of contemporary France sets the changing fortunes of government and people in a broad, international context. Larkin details the evolution of French political life from the short-lived Third and Fourth Republics to the greater stability of the Fifth Republic, and charts the decline of old divisive issues involving the Church, constitution, and overseas empire. He compares French economic and social performance with that of other European countries, assesses foreign policy in light of opportunities afforded by international circumstances, and considers key figures and events, particularly the crises of 1940, 1958, and 1968.
