Reddit mentions of HHhH: A Novel

I recently read a very good historical novel about this assassination called HHhH.

It's beside my bed-side table.

Which is a pretty major step, considering I have literally hundreds of unread books to get through. Consider it on the (physical) short-list. :) It's a toss up between that, a biography of Muhammad, The Luminaries (which just won the Booker Prize), Bring up the Bodies (which won last year) and HHhH.

Also, after years of resisting I bought a Kindle and now buy most of my book in ebook format; something I thought would never happen. My impulse buying of books has increased, and I find myself reading on the Kindle more than picking up real books these days. This saddens me in a strange way.

This book is also very gripping about the Heydrich assassination.

This historical novel is as accurate as it can be while remaining a novel. The author provides the list of inacuracies at the end. This book tackles the same topic and I remember really enjoying it. I definetly recommend it and it is accurate as well, I just feel like the first one affected me more. Other than that, there are obviously historical documents that give you the information in academic way, rather than storywise, but I'm not fan of those, I prefer historical novels.

I also just found this document issued by the Czech government that compiles the informations with pictures, maps and everything. I haven't read it, but I'd assume it's accurate based on the publisher.

If anyone if interested I'd highly recommend this very interesting book about Heydrich and the men who were sent to try and assassinate him.
