Laurent Binets' Himmlers Hirn heißt Heydrich is a curious book - part fiction, part biography. Laurent describes how you came to write this book and takes the reader on a journey into the story of the attack on Heydrich in Prague in 1942. It's clear that Laurant loves Prague and knows it very well (as I do) and he draws a very vivid picture of this magnificent town during WWII. His quest to find to truth about Heydrich and the attack is very addicting and it was very hard to lay down this book.
