mission in the history of warfare. Based closely on fact but never limited
by it, this World War II action adventure follows three paratroopers from
their night-drop into Nazi-Occupied Czechoslovakia until the last
shattering moments when they fight an entire regiment of SS troops to the
death.
The paratroopers' mission, called Anthropoid, begins with a bad drop that
puts them miles off their target and far from any help. It leads them by
luck, accident and skill through the heart of the underground resistance to
the culmination of their mission on a quiet suburban street in Prague.
There they assassinate the second most powerful man in Nazi Germany-the
head of the SD and the Gestapo, the Protector of Czechoslovakia. How they
did what no one else could do, and how they carried themselves onto the
pages of history is one of the most compelling chapters in the long annals
of secret war.

event in the history of warfare--the assassination of one of the most
powerful men in Nazi Germany.
The story takes place in the darkest days of WWII, when the cause of the
Allies seemed hopeless. From England in the winter of 1941, a plane takes
off with two highly-trained men as its cargo.
What happens after they night-drop by parachute is a tale of skill,
courage, and sudden twists of fate that culminates in violence on a street
in suburban Prague.
The aftermath--a manhunt the likes of which has never been seen--is a
desperate and gripping tale in its own right. And a very close look at what
it means to be a man fighting terror on his home ground.
