 The Journalism of the French Resistance
While the center of gravity in the Resistance was on the left, and a large part of the French right leaned toward fascism, underground press people (like their comrades in the larger Resistance) came from all political horizons, from the left and the right, and from all social classes.

During that turbulent period, the underground press was in the vanguard of public opinion on many of the issues that seemed to threaten the social fabric of the country: Vietnam, drugs, women's liberation, sexual freedom, high school students' rights.
