The Christian Science Monitor Reviews The Saboteur
The Saboteur by Paul Kix is reviewed by The Christian Science Monitor.“The result of this combination is almost a textbook demonstration of how to flesh out a small detail from the historical record – indeed, it’s a reminder that the small details often contain the most remarkable stories. Robert de La Rochefoucauld survived his daring adventures against the Nazis and went on to live a long and relatively contented life. Kix’s account begins and ends with glimpses of that much older man, recalling the unspoken code of bravery that guided him and his comrades during the Resistance. The reminder that ‘The Saboteur’ is at heart a hero’s tale is very refreshing.”
