An influential biographer, he published 17 biographies, 15 of which were related to French culture, commerce, or politics; including works on Albert CamusColetteGustave FlaubertHenri Philippe PétainJules Verne, and the Rothschild banking family of France. He wrote that, just before dying, Albert Camus was pledged to marry. Camus's estate tried to block his book, partly because of this controversial statement.[2][3
