HHhH: Laurent Binet

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.
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 a moving and shattering work of fiction.
