Pierre Eugène Drieu La Rochelle (January 3, 1893 – March 15, 1945) was a French writer of novels, short stories and political essays, who lived and died in Paris.

 The Crisis of the modern World, the New World Order and Kali Yuga
Drieu was drafted in 1913 at the age of twenty and spent the next few months tied to the routines of barracks life, until war was declared in 1914.
Drieu La Rochelle was also disappointed by the failure of his generation to take action, and was disgusted with a post-war France that was all too identical to pre-war France.
Drieu later wrote that his period with the Dadaists/ Surrealists was one of great pleasure, as he believed that this prodigious troop of young men and poets, I firmly believe, are the most alive group in the world today.

Winock does mention that La Rocque wanted to apply military solutions to political life, but implies that because this was "naive" on La Rocque's part, it is not to be taken seriously, as the historian René Rémond did not when he dismissed the CF as a movement of "political boy scouts".
Winock himself portrays Drieu's admiration for the "virile" Catholicism of the Middle Ages as one expression of the writer's fascism.
It is true that La Rocque rejected the label "fascism", but so too did almost all French fascist leaders in the 1930s, including Renaud of the SF and Doriot of the PPF, mainly because they did not want the public to dismiss their movements as "foreign" (especially as German), that is, as less than nationalist.

 Victoria's World
In 1929 Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, a young and successful writer in France who would later head the Nouvelle Revue Française, met Victoria at a luncheon in Paris.
Drieu had just been married within the year, but this did not stop him from initiating a relationship with Victoria.
Victoria claimed that Drieu “was that child, fascinated and lost, who gave me his grown man’s hand and to whom I gave mine beneath the skies of Paris and London in those final days of winter… his ideas ended up distancing me from him.” Drieu would align himself with the Nazis.

Drieu loved his mother dearly, but she often neglected him in the pursuit of her active social life.13 Consequently, Drieu spent much of his childhood immersed in books and daydreams about Napoleonic grandeur, military heroism, and colonial adventure, which he readily contrasted with his own familys decadent and pusillanimous bourgeois lifestyle.
Drieu cherished his bonds of friendship with the Surrealists and admitted that "I found among you a nourishment more substantial than ever before."63 However, while Drieu was not a monarchist or a racist, he was also attracted in the early 1920s to the friendship offered by the Action Française on the extreme Right.
Drieu and Breton were not alone, for many of the individuals and organizations on both the Right and the Left had built doctrines on principles that were too esoteric and idealistic to be effective.

 We Know Everything, We Know Nothing
The author of "The Fire Within" is Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, a Frenchman who wrote between the wars and is largely unknown to Americans.
The hero in question is a drug addict, so this sense of solipsist unreality may be justified, if it was not already so familiar from other books (and movies) most of which are not about drugs at all.
la Rochelle doesn't quite make it, although he has moments of intelligence and a few tiny ones of originality.

 The New York Review of Books: Not So Novel
Nevertheless, there is something remote about Drieu la Rochelle's novel, even in his treatment of such a contemporarily interesting topic as drug addiction.
Whereas Drieu la Rochelle's hero had tried to find reality in heroin, M. Gascar's Alain, who is a good deal younger, turns to the politics of extremism, and joins a campaign which is trying to harass the French government in its handling of the Algerian situation by setting off plastic bombs all over Paris.
But there is very little sense of the political motivations and hopes of Alain and his associates, nor of those of their rivals in a left-wing vigilante group.
