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."
