Quatrième de couverture :
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. His boss is Heinrich Himmler but everyone in the SS says ‘Himmler’s brain is called Heydrich’, which in German spells out HHhH.
All the characters in HHhH 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?
‘ HHhH blew me away. Binet’s style fuses it all together: a neutral journalistic honesty sustained with a fiction writer’s zeal and story-telling instincts. It’s one of the best historical novels I’ve 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 'Himmler's brain is called Heydrich', which in German spells HHhH.
All the characters in HHhH 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?
HHhH is a panorama of the Third Reich told through the life of one outstandingly brutal man, a story of unbearable heroism and loyalty, revenge and betrayal. It is improbably entertaining and electrifyingly modern, a moving and shattering work of fiction.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Good. 336 pages. Cover wornEveryone has heard of Reinhard Heydrich , the Butcher of Prague. And most have heard stories of his assas sination at the hands of two Czechoslovakian partisans. But who e xactly were the forgotten heroes who killed one of history's most notorious men? In this novel, HHhH (Himmlers Hirn heiBt Heydrich , or Himmler's brain is called Heydrich), we follow the lives of Jozef Gabcik and Jan Kubi?, the Slovak and the Czech responsible for Heydrich's death. From their heroic escape from Nazi-occupied Prague to their recruitment by the British secret services; from their meticulous preparation and training to their harrowing par achute drop into a war zone; from their stealth attack on Heydric h's car to their own brutal deaths in the basement of a Prague ch urch, Binet narrates the compelling story of these two incredible men, rescuing their heroic acts from obscurity. A seemingly effo rtless blend of historical truth, personal memory, and Binet's re markable imagination, HHhH is a work at once thrilling and deeply engrossing -- a historical novel and a profound meditation on th e nature of writing and the debt we owe to history.
