HHh H blew me away. Binets style fuses it all together: a neutral journalistic honesty sustained with a fiction writers zeal & story-telling instincts. Its one of the best historical novels Ive ever come across. Bret Easton Ellis. 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 Himmlers 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. ...
