- Synopsis
- "A literary tour de force. . . A gripping novel that brings us closer to history as it actually happened. "- Alan Riding, The New York Times Book Review HHhH : "Himmlers Hirn heisst Heydrich," or "Himmler's brain is called Heydrich. " The most lethal man in Hitler's cabinet, Reinhard Heydrich seemed indestructible-until two exiled operatives, a Slovak and a Czech, killed him and changed the course of History. In Laurent Binet's mesmerizing debut, we follow Jozef Gabćik and Jan Kubis from their dramatic escape from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, to their fatal attack on Heydrich and their own brutal deaths. A seamless blend of truth, memory, and Binet's own remarkable imagination, HHhH is at once thrilling and intellectually engrossing-a fast-paced novel of the Second World War that is also a profound meditation on the debt we owe to history.
