The book investigates the phenomenon of Frontism (a Swiss far-right movement) in the period between 1933 and 1945. Research has proven that Swiss Frontists attempted to mix Swiss national identity with national socialist ideology and replace the conservative right. Each version of Frontism formed by its various leaders was inherently unique.

This book analyzes the ideology of the Swiss far right in the period between 1933 and 1945. It provides a detailed sociological overview of the development of Swiss Frontism. Through a broad empirical study based on archive data, the author scrutinizes the views of eight prominent personalities from the milieu of Swiss Frontists.
