Clemenceau the Destroyer
Dell, Robert | January 22, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

Economist John Maynard Keynes said in his "Economic Consequences of the Peace" that French statesman Georges Clemenceau had one illusion, France, and one disillusion, the whole of mankind, especially his fellow-countrymen. It would be difficult to give in a sentence a more exact summary of Clemenceau's psychology. Clemenceau was a very remarkable and very exceptional man, but not in the sense indicated in most of his obituary notices. Clemenceau has been called in every language "the greatest French statesman of his time." Clemenceau's career in the press was as negative and destructive as his career in Parliament.
