Two men have been enlisted to kill the head of the Gestapo. This is Operation Anthropoid, Prague, 1942: two Czechoslovakian parachutists sent on a daring mission by London to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich
- chief of the Nazi secret services, `the hangman of Prague`, `the blond beast`, `the most dangerous man in the Third Reich`. His boss is Heinrich Himmler but everyone in the SS says ` Himmler`s brain is called Heydrich`, which in German spells ”HHh H”. All the characters in ”HHh H” are real. All the events depicted are true. But alongside the nerve-shredding preparations for the attack runs another story: when you are a novelist writing about real people, how do you resist the temptation to make things up? ”HHh H” is a panorama of the Third Reich told through the life of one outstandingly brutal man, a story of unbearable heroism & loyalty, revenge & betrayal. It is improbably entertaining & electrifyingly modern, a moving & shattering work of fiction.
