"France Info
""Subtle and enthralling."
"Elle (France)"
"Jean-Christophe Rufin has written an adventure book...The success of this great novel lies in its suspense and in the meticulous psychology of its protagonists."
"Le Nouvel Observateur
""Rufin's "The Red Collar" is perfectly paced, darkly humorous and an excellent window into the turmoil and emerging politics of postwar France."
"San Francisco Chronicle"
""The Red Collar" is a modern parable about loyalty to others, fidelity to one's convictions, and the self-effacement needed to bear the consequences of living by one's belief."
