Talleyrand: the old fraud

via New Criterion

Charles-Maurice, Prince de Talleyrand-Périgord, has been very well served by biographers. Talleyrand comprehensively betrayed every monarch and government he ever swore to serve but it is left unproven that Talleyrand ever really saved France. What he did do on every conceivable occasion was to offer French foreign policy to the highest foreign bidder, although in his defense it might be argued that he rarely delivered.
