The Institute of Social History, an antisocial organisation

Paris (France) | 11 November 2005
The Institute of Social History, a branch of the French employers’ organization in charge of fighting the communist influence inside the workers’ movement was headed – after World War II – by corrupt former communists and collaborators of the Nazi occupying forces that had just been released from prison. It was soon incorporated to the Atlantist networks and largely financed by the CIA; it played and active role in the division of the French trade union movement. With the help of archive documents, professor Annie Lacroix-Riz describes in detail that manipulation in a time when the new US policy tries to revive the Institute of Social History.
