 Amazon.ca: Saboteurs: Wiebo Ludwig's War Against Big Oil: Books: Andrew Nikiforuk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)

As told by Michael Dobbs, the story of the botched mission and a subsequent trial by military tribunal, resulting in the swift execution of six saboteurs, offers great insight into the tenor of the country--and the state of American intelligence--during World War II and becomes what is perhaps a cautionary tale for our times.
Dobbs delves, incisively, into the mindset of the different participants, from the saboteurs, with their conflicting back stories, agendas and loyalties, to midlevel FBI operatives, to the legal minds summoned to work the cases.

The portrait of the Nazi command that emerges in Saboteurs is predictably and relentlessly unflattering: The plot to destroy American industry was not only nefarious, but also glaringly inept.
