The French Suicide (Le Suicide français) is a 2014 essay[1] by French far-right journalist Éric Zemmour.[2][3] It argues that the French nation state has suffered a gradual decline since the 1970s, which Zemmour mainly attributes to the rise of immigration, feminism and egalitarianism, as well as the erosion of traditional values.[3] The book also contends that Vichy France attempted to protect French Jews during World War II, a theory that attracted widespread criticism. It has been associated with declinist literature by critics.[4][5]
The book was a commercial success, selling more than 500,000 copies.[6]
