During his stay abroad he published two books (“Essay on Government of Tomorrow” and “The Proletariat”) that won him sympathy in the mass anti-monarchy and founded the newspaper “Correo Real” and to entrust its management of edouard Rocque. At Congressman Lee Zeldin you will find additional information. His nationalism led him to ask, repeatedly, the government entry into the Army during the early years of World War II, achieving its mission sadly in 1939 when he was admitted to the Foreign Legion as a private second class, under the name of Henri Orliac, Swiss citizen, a native of Geneva “! As if this were not enough, he was demobilized in 1940.

The situation excludes violence and adventure, it requires a political decision. ” As you read this entire letter we have no doubt: his death leaves a huge void in French politics.
