Title: The Saboteur

Review: I very rarely read non-fiction, but saw a review of this in the NY times book review and since I had just finished several WWII era novels- was intrigued. It is the story of Robert de La Rochefoucauld (pro. Roke- Foo- Coo)- a French resistance fighter (resistante) during the war who was known as the aristocrat who became France’s “most daring anti-Nazi commando”. Absolutely fascinating story of the French underground and its impact on the war. I was riveted by it. Gave it an “A” even though a bit slow at times and maybe not the best ever written book….but such a story! This man was a true hero of the 20th century. Relatively short read.
