Description
"With the Marquis de Morès's unique blend of oligarchic privilege and democratic populist appeal, this nineteenth-century figure (1858-1896) was the first populist, white supremacist, and openly anti-Semitic leader in the Western world. He embodies the archetype of today's strongmen. While the marquis is largely unknown today, his short, adventurous life anticipated and propelled cultural, social, and political changes that would dominate the twentieth century, and that are all too familiar to the present-day reader."-- Provided by publisher.
