RaveThe New York Times Book ReviewOne of those résistants, in 1944, was 19-year-old Robert de La Rochefoucauld, the subject of Paul Kix’s intense, highly detailed and well-written book, The Saboteur. Working from La Rochefoucauld’s 2002 memoir, and the video of an oral history produced by the La Rochefoucauld family, Kix has produced a narrative that is both chilling and powerful ... This is first-class adventure writing, which, coupled with a true-life narrative of danger and intrigue, adds up to all-night reading ... Reading The Saboteur, one understands how a certain person at a certain time answered it. La Rochefoucauld faced torture and death, yet he carried on. There is inspiration in his example, and that makes The Saboteur well worth reading.
