""HHhH" blew me away... It's one of the best historical novels
I've ever come across."--Bret Easton Ellis, author of "American
Psycho" and "Less Than Zero
"A Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for
Fiction
A "Financial Times" Best Book of the Year
A "New York Times Book Review "Editors' Choice
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 Gabčik and
Jan Kubis from their dramatic escape from Nazi-occupied
Czechoslovakia to their fatal attack on Heydrich and their own
brutal deaths in the basement of a Prague church. A seamless blend
of memory, actuality, 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.
