Description

This political biography examines the life and death of French industrialist Jacques Lemaigre Dubreuil (1894-1955), a pivotal figure in twentieth-century French and North African history. Dubreuil rose to prominence as president of the Taxpayers' Federation during the 1930s before becoming a key wartime entrepreneur and political strategist. He organised the influential Group of Five in Algiers, which played a crucial role in preparing for the Allied landings in North Africa in November 1942, and served as a principal negotiator in major diplomatic agreements with American officials and General Henri Giraud. This Routledge publication explores his controversial political legacy, his involvement in shaping postwar French policy, and the circumstances surrounding his assassination. The work combines detailed historical research with biographical narrative to illuminate a complex figure whose influence extended across business, military coordination, and diplomatic channels during one of history's most transformative periods.
