Career
He devoted himself to journalism and in 1937, participated in the launch of the newspaper L'époque. He was close to the right-wing parliamentarian Henri de Kérillis, in the Centre de propagande des républicains nationaux. In 1939, they published Will we let France be dismembered?, an essay in which they express their deep convictions against the 1938 Munich agreement with Germany.
Raymond Cartier was in 1944-1945 captain in Military Security. It was he who first questioned the German prisoner Kurt Gerstein.
After the war, he was correspondent in New York. In is 1956 book about the USA he wrote:
"America will never launch a preemptive war. It, as a rival of a totalitarian power, will share the fate of all democracies and, on an unpredictable day, under unpredictable circumstances, will suffer an aggression that will necessarily be a nuclear attack on its life centers. This is the terrible threat under which America is doomed to live - a threat so serious and bothersome that it can have profound consequences for the development of the nation. It may be that even its democratic constitution is threatened in the long run by precautionary measures, which are becoming more and more necessary for the benefit of the people.[2]
He became a major columnist for Paris Match since the 1950s (Indochina, the 1952 European Defence Community, relations with the USA, etc.). These columns, which focused on international news and geopolitics, participated in making the magazine successful.
In 1966 he published a monumental History of the Second World War.[3]
