Editor's Take:
Georges Clemenceau was a doctor, journalist and duellist. He spent decades bringing down governments. In 1917, with France exhausted by war, he was called back to lead the country. He was 76. His energy and refusal to give up helped carry France to victory. At the peace talks he pushed hard for security against Germany. Some say that harshness helped sow the seeds of another war. His strong defence of the falsely accused Dreyfus also earned him lasting respect.
