### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Highly Recommended, An Unknown History
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2017*

A wonderful narrative which gets into some technical detail about how Adolfo Kaminsky managed to create perfect forgeries of documents over the decades, as well as telling about the WWII and the post-war period where he worked tirelessly for the safety and freedom of those who were under the thumb of the Third Reich, post-war French imperialism and other despotic governments around the world. The tension and suspense of those times is perfectly communicated by Sarah Kaminsky, using her father's documents and recollections. Highly recommended for those wanting to learn more about the smaller battles which resulted in thousands of lives being saved.

    Gripping, true spy/forger adventure, too unbelievable to be fiction
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2016*

I downloaded the book, intending to read it later, then thought I'd read "the first page," but ended up reading for the rest of the day, sitting on the edge of my seat. Too unbelievable to be fiction, too filled with wild coincidences; a young Jewish boy couldn't continue his education in Paris past elementary school, so was apprentice to clothes dyer, doing his own chemical research at home to become, at 17, an expert forger. As the Germans took over Paris, Adolfo worked tireless behind the scenes without pay, forging original, authentic-quality documents for escaping Jews from homemade equipment and his own inventions. After the war, he continued helping oppressed people fleeing cruel regimes all over the world for most of his life. Many of his colleagues were captured and killed, or committed suicide, yet Adolfo continued to miraculously escape detection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A great (and true) story of Nazis, the Resistance, and a hero of France
  

*by P***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2016*

Fans of Alan Furst will love this well-written, true story of a man whose actions saved thousands. Adolfo Kaminsky helped save untold numbers of lives by providing false identity papers to Jews and others fleeing the authorities in Nazi occupied France. Although barely 18, his knowledge of cloth dying gave him the skills to both create and erase inks of any color. With this he created identity documents from scratch, erased dangerous notations from real documents, and provided a lifeline to those hunted by the authorities. Great writing and extremely engaging. You'll look up from the book and it will suddenly be 2 a.m.!
