About the author

Born in Lyon on April 25, 1878, Gabriel Louis Jaray was a French author with a doctorate in law. French national library records identify him as a writer, and note that he later served as maître des requêtes at the Conseil d'État, as secretary-general of the France-Amérique committee, and as director of Cahiers de politique nationale.

His published work ranged widely. Library and archival sources connect him to books on social questions, contemporary European politics, the French presence in North America, and travels in Albania and the Balkans. That mix helps explain the feel of his writing: part research, part reportage, and part political reflection.

Jaray died in Monte-Carlo on August 18, 1954. A reliable portrait image was not clearly available from the pages reviewed, so no profile image is included here.
