Louis Renault (1877–1944) is a complex figure whose portrait cannot be painted with a single brush. Without a university education, he became the author of revolutionary inventions, built a huge factory from scratch, and laid the foundations of the French automobile industry. A hard worker with calloused hands and a self-taught craftsman, he was known as a ruthless exploiter and tyrant; he financed the Mutual Aid Society and brutally suppressed strikes. The creator of the "victory tank" that allowed France to survive the First World War, he was arrested on charges of collaboration during the Second. Mechanic, race car driver, landowner, friend of ministers, companion of writers and artists, eternal rival of the charismatic André Citroën, creator of legendary automobiles—his name is on everyone's lips, but his tragic fate is known to few.
