Victor Méric

Victor Célestin Méric was the pseudonym of Henri Coudon, a French journalist and libertarian author. He contributed to various anarchist journals before World War I (1914–1918). Despite being a pacifist, he served in the army during the war. Afterwards, he joined the French Communist Party, but was expelled in 1923 for his pacifist convictions. He wrote several books, both fiction and non-fiction, and founded the Ligue internationale des combattants de la paix.
