French writer Alexandre Dumas (pere) had a special talent for historical fiction that combines an overarching view of world events with their impacts at the level of the individual. In this true-crime account of German murderer and nationalist martyr Karl-Ludwig Sand, Dumas ratchets up the suspense and connects the dots between one student's descent into political extremism and the criminal act that garnered heated responses from an entire nation.
