Publisher Description
New York Times Bestseller: An audacious Nazi plan to kidnap Winston Churchill threatens to tip the scales of World War II.
In November of 1943, an elite team of Nazi paratroopers descends on British soil with a diabolical goal: to abduct Winston Churchill and cripple the Allied war effort. The mission, ordered by Hitler himself and planned by Heinrich Himmler, is led by ace agent Kurt Steiner and aided on the ground by IRA gunman Liam Devlin. As the deadly duo executes Hitler’s harrowing plot, only the quiet town of Studley Constable stands in their way. Its residents are the lone souls aware of the impending Nazi plan, and they must become the most unlikely of heroes as the fate of the war hangs in the balance.

Triumph of character
Even in the most challenging and difficult of conflicts and war, the human characteristics of compassion, integrity, honor, and sanctity of life may suddenly appear like a pearl in the midst of vast patch of ordinary gravel.
Fascinating Favorite!
As a history buff, I first read this for pleasure in high school. What I like is the clever way he pulls you into the story - one that is compelling and plausible, and yet entertaining. Not only that, it's technically accurate and well researched. I have read this book at least four times - and I'll read it again!
