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.
Who are the men and women who bring bloody death to innocent civilians? Why do they do it? What are their methods? And how do they justify it?
