When the Nazis invaded and imprisoned his father, La Rochefoucald escaped to England and learned the dark arts of anarchy and combat--cracking safes and planting bombs and killing with his bare hands--from the officers of Special Operations Executive, the collection of British spies, beloved by Winston Churchill, who altered the war in Europe with tactics that earned it notoriety as the "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare." With his newfound skills, La Rochefoucauld returned to France and organized Resistance cells, blew up fortified compounds and munitions factories, interfered with Germans' war-time missions, and executed Nazi officers. Caught by the Germans, La Rochefoucald withstood months of torture without cracking, and escaped his own death, not once but twice."-- $c Front jacket flap. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 332-435). 600 10 $a La Rochefoucauld, Robert de, $d 1923-2012. 600 17 $a La Rochefoucauld, Robert de, $d 1923-2012. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01798807 611 27 $a German Occupation of France (1940-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353176 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 7 $a Large type books. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992678 650 0 $a Guerrillas $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $z France. 650 0 $a Large type books. 651 0 $a France $x History $y German occupation, 1940-1945. 650 7 $a Guerrillas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00948935 650 7 $a Underground movements, War. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01355184 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710040443.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012024355.0 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20180914010857.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91D06CF80BD411E8B276BF0197128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
