Laurent Binet a search is older than 60 years held in Prague Street Resslova. Found on the basement window of the church, a plaque bearing the names of two heroes: Josef Gabčík Jan Kubis of Slovak and Czech.

This book is original in its design. The author shares his doubts, his research: "When I talk about the book I am about to write, I say" my book on Heydrich, Heydrich is not yet supposed to be the main character. Heydrich was the target and not the actor of the operation. "
January 8, 1942, Operation Anthropoid was launched from London: Gabčík Kubis and have a mission to assassinate Heydrich. Dropped near Prague, they watch their prey, for five months, with many accomplices. Meanwhile, Heydrich announced: "the death sentence was imposed for all European Jews." Solutions larger, more sophisticated and ensuring more performance will come. " trucks or" gas chambers "mobile now insufficient. "More the pleasure of issuing a Scoop, I think it tastes Heydrich to verbalize the unprecedented and unthinkable, as if to have a little body to the unimaginable truth. " L. Binet said.
Paratroopers must find the perfect place to stop the Mercedes, killing Heydrich and attempt to flee. The turning of the street Holesovice almost hairpin should be fine. May 27, 1942: Heydrich was mortally wounded. Fury of the Nazis in Prague and prosecution. Revenge on hundreds of innocent until the betrayal of a man. A battle raged in this incredible small church in Prague.
How to Tell the Story? The author continually alternates between fiction, history and its reflection. He is obsessed with the historical truth. ... A book to read. In my opinion, a great success. A novel? In all cases a well-documented book for those who love history. It is also a book that allows those that repels History, an easy approach to these dramatic days.
Laurent Binet, 37 years is an Associate of Arts and a teacher.
He received this book for the Prix Goncourt 2010 first novel
