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. 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. HHhH: Himmlers Hirn heisst Heydrich, or Himmler's brain is called Heydrich. The basis for the major motion picture, The Man with the Iron Heart available on streaming and home video. has a vitality very different from that of most historical fiction." -James Wood, The New Yorker
