Publishers Description: If anyone warranted assassination during World War II, the man to know was Reinhard Heydrich (1904“1942)chief of the security police, rabid anti-Semite, architect of the Final Solution, ruthless overlord of Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, and Hitlers most likely successor. In 1941, at the height of the Nazis seeming invincibility, the Czech government-in-exile launched a desperate operation to kill Heydrich. From the assassins training in England to their Thermopylae-like last stand in the flooded crypt of a Prague church, and the Nazis savage reprisals (including the obliteration of two villages), The Killing of Reinhard Heydrich brilliantly recounts one of World War IIs most daring and tragic missions.
