4.0 out of 5 stars Well Written & Detailed, 26 Mar 2002
By J. E. Parry "Jeff Parry" (Pontypool, Wales) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Killing of Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich, 27th May, 1942 (Paperback)
This is a well reasearched and written account of "Operation Anthropoid" - the Czech plan to assassinated Reinhard Heydrich in 1942. This also provides background to the political, pressures, events and decisions leading up to the final event.

What comes across is the enormous pressure inflicted on the exiled Czech government in London to provide an example of the worth of Czech resistance to the Nazi regime. Benes is shown as a man grasping for the post-war status of Czechoslavakia. A man fighting against as much for political recognition from the Allies, as the "true" voice of the Czech people, as against the Nazi occupation of his homeland.

As the story unfolds you see the internal forces, both inside and outside the country, the internal divisions and Benes' need to be seen for doing something.

It also sums up Czech efforts to resist the regime and the difficulties faced by poor planning and communication. Decisions were made in London with little, or no, comprehension of the difficulties faced by the resistance operating in Czechoslavakia.

In the end the death of Heydrich only led to the death of the western dominated "Home Army" and the eventual occupation of Czecholavakia by the Soviet Union.

A well written and highly recommended read.
