Legal issues and controversies

Sternhell controversy

Zeev Sternhell published a book, Ni Droite, ni Gauche ("Neither Right nor Left"), accusing de Jouvenel of having had fascist sympathies in the 1930s and 1940s. De Jouvenel sued in 1983, claiming nine counts of libel, two of which the court upheld. However, Sternhell was neither required to publish a retraction nor to strike any passages from future printings of his book.
