The article presents an overview of the book, "Clemenceau," by Jean Martet. Jean Martet was Clemenceau's secretary during and after the war and saw him frequently to the end. Skepticism, indeed, except for his war-time fanatic faith in France, was the outstanding characteristic of this man who gloried in being called the Tiger. He had no faith in God or man, and could make bitter jests of both. If he had faith in anything in those bitter days after his France had refused to elect him president, it was in the eternal bellicosity of the Germans. Martet is utterly guiltless of criticism of his chief. He is no Brousson, biting the hand that he had licked.
