Édouard Drumont (1844-1917) was famous in France as an anti-Semitic propagandist. Drumont founded the Antisemitic League for France, published the La Libre Parole newspaper whose motto was "France for the French", composed booklets and published numerous anti-Jewish books. His anti-Semitic book "Jewish France", in which he called for the expulsion of Jews from French society, was his first best seller and contributed to his fame.
