| Tells the virtually unknown story of a Parisian banker who risks his life, career, and marriage to hunt down Gestapo commander Klaus Barbie; and only a few months later, plays a pivotal role in one of history's most daring hostage rescue operations. Cojot’s journey started during World War II in Nazi-occupied France; hit a fork on the road in 1975 in Bolivia, when he faced his bitter past; reached a climax in Entebbe, Africa, a few months later, when he played a key role in one of the 20th century's most daring hostage rescue operations; and concluded back in France in the 1980s, when he again confronted Barbie — this time, in court. Caught up in history's crosshairs, Cojot embodies the modern era’s vital dilemmas: how to lead a purposeful life and reconcile Western ideals of liberty, equality and justice with the bitter memories of WWII and the rise of global terrorism. | |
