	eReader.com: Excerpt from Georges Clemenceau
		Clemenceau had been named to his position four months earlier by President Raymond Poincaré of France after several other wartime ministries had failed as a result of indecision and inefficiency in conducting the war.
		Poincaré had appointed Clemenceau, even though the two were political rivals, because he knew that the old man was committed more than anyone in the nation to "total victory." During the first part of the war, as a member of the French Senate, Clemenceau had proven himself a tireless patriot.
		But even more important than Clemenceau's military reforms, his diplomacy, and his elimination of defeatists was his remarkable ability to raise the morale of French troops through frequent visits to the front.

	Adventures in Philosophy: A Brief History of Political Philosophy
		When Woodrow Wilson promulgated his famous Fourteen Points, Georges Clemenceau (picture) remarked that "Our Father in Heaven would have been content with ten." This and others of his sayings caused Americans to regard his character as that of a cynical politician, narrow-minded French nationalist, advocate of power politics, and victim of French propaganda.
		Clemenceau was feared and detested by a large group of the French people, by the majority of the deputies, and by those of the radical part, to which he himself belonged.
		Clemenceau was not only the most striking and vigorous of the French statesmen of his time, a formidable enemy, and genius of invective; he was also sincerely and fanatically devoted to the ideals of reason and freedom, which he regarded as compatible with his stern patriotism.

	Big Three
		Clemenceau was working for the best interests of France, to allow her to pick up the pieces after the terrible war without needing to worry about a belligerent neighbor, and to try to ensure that France would never again have to suffer the enormous losses World War I had caused the French people.
		Nonetheless, his campaign statements showed Lloyd George's understanding that the public did not hold the same convictions as he did, and that, on the contrary, the public wanted to extract as much as possible out of the Germans to compensate them for their losses during the war.
		So Lloyd George and Clemenceau were in agreement on many points, each one seeming to support the other in their nationalist objectives, and thereby scratching each other's back as the "game of grab" of Germany's power played itself out.
