Customer Reviews

Rivetting read - Rated 4/5
A rivetting read backed with exhaustive and revealing research into the incredible lives of the early Grand Prix drivers in France who became resistance heroes in WW2.


Luckily a good read - Rated 2/5
This was a very enjoyable book, the only downside was the quality. It was a paperback which looked as if it has been stored in damp conditions as the pages were curly. Also the print of the book contained a very large number os mistakes.


Brilliant true story! - Rated 5/5
This is a really great read. The book has been painstakingly researched over a number of years, and this has been translated into a very easy to read, and exciting book.

The story is true, but it has been written like a good novel. There is a great balance keeping the story going, without getting bogged down in too much detail. There are however some amazing details in here, such as the insight into the British War effort in France, through the use of an intricate spy networtk, through to the motor racing scene at the start of the last century.

Absolutely brilliant!


terrific SOE information - Rated 4/5
I am not a huge fan of motor racing, but despite this I enjoyed the first chapters of the book which is mostly about the early lives and racing careers of the saboteurs. The author really brings the people to life and makes the reader care about them.
Once he starts writing about their SOE activities the book comes to life. He must have done an enormous amount of research, because, despite reading many, many books on the SOE, I found a lot of new information.
Excellently researched.


Very Impressive - Rated 5/5
Representing eighteen years of thorough research which could not be verified until 2003 when certain war time documents were declassified, this is a fascinating piece of work and a glimpse into another murky backdrop of WW2. Saward is actually a professional motor racing journalist and author, his prose really comes to life when the story allows him back into his area of considerable expertise but he does a fine job of unpicking the strands of people and events which weave into this amazing account of intrigue in the face of oppression. There is a fictional version of this story, 'Early One Morning' by Robert Ryan which is a superb read in itself, all the more so because it is largely faithful to the facts uncovered by Saward though there is no acknowledgement of joint research, Ryan recommends Saward's book in his bibliography at the end of his novel.
