Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber was the son of Émile, co-founder of Les Échos; the English Wikipedia states plainly that 'the Schreiber family is a Jewish family'. He wrote on international politics and the Cold War at his father's paper, then in 1953 co-founded the weekly L'Express with Françoise Giroud, first as a supplement and then as a magazine that carried the opposition to the Algerian war. His 1967 book Le Défi américain — 'The American Challenge' — sold 600,000 copies in France and was translated into fifteen languages, warning Europe that it was losing the technology race. He later led the Radical Party, sat as a deputy from 1970 to 1978, and was briefly a minister in 1974.
