Jean Raspail is best known in the United States for The Camp of the Saints (1973), a dystopian novel predicting Europe being overwhelmed by massive Third World immigration.
He was philosophically a Catholic traditionalist, whose novels were written in explicit opposition to both Liberalism and Communism.
Despite his literary stature, he was denied membership in the French Academy in 2000.

Louis de Bourbon, Duc d’Anjou, Legitimate heir to the throne of France, writes:
-
Câ€
est avec une grande émotion que jâ€apprends le rappel à Dieu de Jean Raspail. Fidèle jusquâ€au bout à lâ€Eglise et à la France.
Sa personnalité et son panache nous manqueront.
Que le Père éternel le reçoive auprès de lui et quâ€il rejoigne tous les preux qui ont contribué à la gloire et à lâ€honneur de notre chère Patrie.
translated:
-
It is with deep emotion that I commend to God the soul of Jean Raspail. Faithful to the end to the Church and to France.
We will miss his personality and panache.
May the eternal Father receive him and unite him with all the brave who have contributed to the glory and honor of our dear fatherland.
