I read this March 2013
Waterstone Book Club April choice
I put this one forward tfor us to read as I had herad lots about it.
Plot: This book is about Operatton Anthropoid, when in 1942, in Prague, there was an assassination attempt on Reinhard Heydrich. It covers not only the historical facts, but also the writers journey writing the book. Some scenes are fictionalised, but all the palyers are real as are the events.
Quite odd to read as teh book has no page numbers and flits back and forth in time.
I did enjoy it though and it was refreshing to read an book in such a different format. I also learnt things I did not know or learnt about when I was so young I didn't register the human impact of the actions of the assassins.
8/10
