| Summary/Abstract |
It seems unlikely that a statesman like Georges Clemenceau could be elected in the West today. The son of a political activist, Clemenceau was sent to Paris for an education in medicine, but quickly became immersed in radical politics. He wrote for and founded several journals that attacked the regime of Napoleon III. He served one 73-day stint in prison, decided that was enough, and sought refuge in America just after he received his medical licence. He returned to France after its loss in the Franco-Prussian war, participated in the Paris Commune, and was one of the intellectual leaders of the movement to revenge the loss to Germany known as revanchisme. Early on, he was nicknamed 'Le Tigre' after his fierce style of debate, a reputation that followed him all the way to the office of prime minister.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper reassesses the suggestion, advanced among others by David George, that the 1858 failed attentat by the Italian patriot Felice Orsini against Napoleon III can be considered as a paradigmatic instance of "terrorist assassination." Drawing on a new interpretation of the acts of Orsini's trial, the paper argues that Orsini's motivations were to a large degree "idiosyncratic"; however, it also discusses evidence suggesting that the significant collateral damage caused by the attack was, in Orsini's mind, one of the aims of the action and cannot be portrayed as unintended.
