Captivating . . . [HHhH] has a vitality very different from that of most historical fiction. --James Wood, The New Yorker

The basis for the major motion picture, The Man with the Iron Heart available on streaming and home video.

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 Gabcík 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.
