Overview

This is Jan Wiener's story of his own flight from the Nazi invasion of Prague, his capture and imprisonment in Italy, and his eventual escape to England where he became part of a fighting force of Czech R.A.F flyers. Interwoven into the author's narrative is the story of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, who was the Reichsprotector of occupied Czechoslovakia. Pieced together from survivors, observers and memoirs, as well as Nazi documents, the step-by-step account of the Heydrich assassination and its effect on the Czech populace is nothing less than a true historical thriller. Included are 17 archival photographs; a timeline; and a portrait of Jan Wiener written by a friend.
