The masterpiece of Jack Higgins, the father of modern thriller novels. The most famous best-selling novel about World War II, with cumulative sales of 50 million copies worldwide, it is the tragic song of the German soldiers. At exactly one o'clock in the morning on Saturday, November 6, 1943, Heinrich Himmler, the leader of the SS and the chief of the national police, received a simple message: "The eagle has landed." This meant that a small group of German paratroopers had landed safely in the UK, intending to kidnap the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill who was preparing to spend the weekend at a seaside hut in the Norfolk countryside. At least 50% of the content of this book is based on historical records. As for whether the remaining 50% is speculation or fiction, I leave it to the readers to judge...
