This is the story of John Henry Weidner. A Dutch man who was a majoy player in the Dutch-Paris underground during WWII. An organization that was involved in getting people out of Nazi areas. Not just Jews but anyone caught in the cross hairs of the Nazi war machine.

He worked to get the papers needed to allow people to travel and get out of the country. Developed routes over mountains, via rail or any way possible to move people to safer places where they would not be murdered or tortured.

He was one of the top 'most wanted' on the Nazi's list. He was captured a couple of times, tortured and excaped, never giving away any info regarding the underground people he worked with.

THe book gives you a good idea of how deadly it was to live during this period and how irrational the people could become to save their own skins.

I took my time with this as it is not a light read.
