About the author
Born in Écouché, Orne, on August 6, 1871, André Chéradame was a French journalist and scholar associated with the École Libre des Sciences Politiques. He also wrote for Le Petit Journal, bringing political and international questions to a broad public.
He is best remembered for books on European geopolitics in the years around the two world wars, especially his arguments about Pangermanism, German militarism, and expansionist policy. Readers encountered him as a forceful, urgent commentator who tried to connect diplomatic strategy with the larger future of Europe.
Chéradame died in Écouché on October 15, 1948. Today he is mainly recalled as an early twentieth-century observer of continental power politics whose work captured the anxieties and arguments of his age.
