Robert Tourly (1888–1966) was a journalist, director of the French Communist Party, and later a pacifist. He is known for his 1932 book on Adolf Hitler.
Robert Tourly was born in 1888 in Saint-Leu-d'Esserent, Oise. He joined the French Section of the Workers' International ( SFIO) in 1911. In 1912, he contributed to the Prolétaire de l'Oise founded that year, and in 1913, he became editor in chief of Démocratie de l'Aisne. He served in the army during World War I (1914–18). [1] In 1922, Tourly was elected to the managing committee of the French Communist Party (PCF: Parti communiste de France). He was expelled from the PCF the next year. [1]
A reviewer said of his 1928 collection of journalistic sketches Le Conflit de demain : Berlin, Varsovie, Dantzig that it was "somewhat superficial, but lively and sincere." [2] In the 1930s, Tourly was fully dedicated to pacifism, as were Madeleine Vernet and Théodore Ruyssen. [3] He was among the members of the Ligue internationale des combattants de la paix (LICP) founded by Victor Méric (1876–1933) in 1931. [4] He was known for directing La Patrie humaine (1931–39) with Victor Méric and Roger Monclin (1903–85). [5] Tourly and Z. Lvovsky co-authored a short biography of Hitler in 1932, describing his nationalistic and anti-semitic agenda and analyzing his base of support. The authors called for discussion on reasonable changes to the Treaty of Versailles and for European economic union and disarmament. [6]
