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 … 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.

Love Jack Higgins! I love learning history from his novels–I call it “painless history study”, and so entertaining!
I Have read every book By Ken Follett and have enjoyed them all my favorit is Pillars of The Earth
An awesome read.
Love his books, always a good read!
Interesting war story.
Better than the great film!
Well written with interesting character building as well as “what if”. It also helps to expose the the character of the NAZI Party of Germany. It also shows the loyalty
of different groups for places of birth and in this case against England and the British Empire.
