The story of Francis Cammaerts is certainly one of deep intrigue and endeavour. The subject -a man responsible for many a French Resistance operation during the Second World War -makes this fascinating book a must for the shelves rnof any history buff. The author has done well in moulding Cammaerts' memories and musings into an engaging and exciting tale of courage and commitment. However, if you are expecting some kind of Where Eagles Dare narrative - straight to explosions and attractive women - you may be disappointed. This book is as much a portrayal of character as it is action.
