Robert de La Rochefoucauld, a young French aristocrat, a descendant of an ancient family, joined the Resistance and became one of the most daring and effective saboteurs. Why? Love for his country and the code of noble honor. The hero of this book could have resigned himself to defeat and accepted the power of the collaborationist Vichy regime. But instead, Robert de La Rochefoucauld chose a different path, in many ways strange for a man of his circle - the path of struggle. The author traces the transformation: a teenager who was an average student and loved to climb the walls of the family castle turns into a fearless underground fighter, an agent of British intelligence, an unrivaled master of sabotage and disguise. La Rochefoucauld blew up German trains, escaped the death penalty twice, and even dressed up as a nun. However, this book is not a frivolous action thriller. It is not only about the adventures of a young count-saboteur, it is about the tragedy of France, split and humiliated by the occupation. Robert and his comrades in the Resistance show that a crushed and disgraced nation is capable of something bright and noble. Even if there are only two percent of them.
