The assassination of Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich
The killing of the SS leader Reinhard Heidrich by Czechoslovak parachutists in 1942 was the most high profile assassination of the Second World War.
Who took the decision to mount the operation and why? How was the killing carried out and what were the consequences?
These questions are answered by historian Callum MacDonald in an excellent book which I have just read and reviewed here.
