With Martha Jansen-Lecoutre and Stanislas Szymanczyk, two former members of the RUP (Universal Rally for Peace), soon joined by Raymond Aron, and the financial support of the Intelligence Service, Labarthe founded the monthly review “La France Libre” (based at 15 Queensbury Place, London), which was published from November 15, 1940 to December 1946. With a print run of 10,000 copies (it increased from 8,000 copies in 1940 to 25,000 at the Liberation according to Thierry Cottour), this review is distinguished by its high intellectual quality and its many contributors, among whom stand out Georges Bernanos, Albert Cohen, Ève Curie, Henri Focillon, Camille Huysmans, Jacques Maritain, Robert Marjolin, Jules Roy, Thomas Mann, John Dos Passos and Herbert George Wells; but also André Labarthe himself, Joseph Kessel, Romain Gary, Jean-Paul Sartre, Roger Caillois, Raymond Aron, Etiemble, Camille Rougeron, Pierre Mendès France, Pierre Gallois, etc., plus letters from De Gaulle and Churchill... Much appreciated by the Anglo-Saxon press, a special edition, developed in the summer of 1943, was dropped on France by the Royal Air Force . At the same time, the magazine moved to Algiers. For Labarthe, this review's mission is to undertake a "crusade of ideas" to fight against "the moral acceptance of defeat" and restore a civilization based on "human freedom." When this journal was created, the publication director André Labarthe was director of the armament service at the Free French general staff. As for the editorial secretary, who signs a "chronicle of France" under the pseudonym of René Avord, he is Raymond Aron, previously with the 1st tank company of Free France. Despite this initial proximity to General de Gaulle's movement, relations between Labarthe and de Gaulle became more and more sour during 1941, and "Free France" took on, in the words of Raymond Aron, an "Agaullist" turn. — "Labarthe, troublemaker of the first Free France, is one of its most original characters. Thirty-eight years old, a brilliant mind consumed by passion; a resemblance to Robespierre that he cultivates even in his concern for elegance and in his imperceptibly powdered face; a gift of seduction that is maintained by an inner flame nourished by memories of the French Revolution and a plebeian childhood of which he prides himself (his mother was a cleaning lady); but first, the ability to talk about everything with talent." (Jean-Louis Crémieux-Brilhac, La France Libre de l'appel du 18 juin à la Libération) — According to the same Jean-Louis Crémieux-Brilhac, the philosopher, sociologist and journalist Raymond Aron (1905-1983), who tends to consider Gaullism as a Bonapartism, was "the only non-passionate anti-Gaullist in London." — "“La France Libre”, a review founded in London in 1940 by André Labarthe and at the instigation of General de Gaulle, undoubtedly constituted one of the first interdisciplinary and international strategic “think tanks” in the Western world: civilian strategists (Szymonzyk, Labarthe), political scientists and philosophers (Raymond Aron), military writers (Pierre Gallois, Camille Rougeron), economists (Robert Marjolin) contributed to the review and addressed the problems of the ongoing war in all its dimensions. The editorial meetings where ideas were confronted and tested formed a sort of continuous research seminar. If “La France Libre” was more broadly a cultural review, with contributions on art and literature, the mode of operation that we describe undoubtedly existed to deal with strategic problems. A review of exile and émigrés, the review as a "think tank" had no continuation in France after the war."
