- Book Synopsis
- They've got three days to win the war . . . Celebrating 50 years of the WWII classic that defined a generation - with a new introduction by Peter James. - Early morning, November 6, 1943: Heinrich Himmler receives a coded message: 'The Eagle has landed.' It means an audacious Nazi plan to destroy Britain with one strike is under way. Parachuting undetected into a remote corner of Norfolk, an elite unit of SS soldiers is led by the brilliant but disgraced Lt-Col Kurt Steiner. There, aided by German agents, they will kidnap the guest secretly staying at a nearby country house, and take him to an E-boat, off the coast. The guest? Prime Minister Winston Churchill . . . First published fifty years ago, The Eagle Has Landed is the classic tale of wartime treachery, and one of the bestselling thrillers of all time. -- Praise for Jack Higgins: 'A thriller writer in a class of his own' Financial Times 'Higgins is a master of his craft' Daily Telegraph 'A compulsively readable storyteller' Sunday Express '100 per cent proof adventure' New York Times
