Summary:

A study of censorship in France from 1914 to 1919. In the first days of August 1914, the government and military increased their censorship of diplomatic and military news in press agencies and journals. Intended to last only a brief period, this initial control of information rapidly expanded to political life, institutions, and the entirety of the war. Scandals of corruption, strikes, mutinies, and even the Russian Revolution all disappeared as if by magic through this censorship, which called into question the liberal republican advances of the pre-war period. From Apollinaire to Maurras, from Poincaré to Clemenceau, intellectuals, politicians, and military figures all played important roles in this history, which would inspire the government of Vichy France.
