René Brunet

Born in Latresne, France, on November 13, 1882, René Jean Alfred Brunet was a French politician and author. He later died in Alexandria, Egypt, on March 10, 1951.

Brunet wrote about politics and constitutional change, and his name is especially linked with The New German Constitution, published in the early 1920s. The book examines the political and legal reshaping of Germany after the First World War, showing his interest in how modern states were being rebuilt.

Alongside his writing, Brunet had a public career in French politics. That mix of government experience and close attention to constitutional questions gives his work a practical, informed tone that still makes it useful for readers interested in European political history.
