About this listen

If you only listen to one book about what it felt like to be present during the worst time in modern human history, a time when your life could be snuffed out for having the mere thought of opposition against the Nazi regime, this should be the book. It is told by survivors and by one of the greatest survivors of them all, Jan Wiener.

Critic reviews

"Jan Wiener's fascinating, well-documented book tells of the heroic exploits of various Czech men and women, most of whom paid for their resistance with their lives. Above all it gives a detailed, documented account of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, the most gruesome of the Nazi murderers, by Czech resisters parachuted from London but aided in their task by the Czech underground." (William L. Shirer, author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich)

I just finished Neal Bascomb's 'Hunting Eichmann' (free on Audible) and absolutely loved it, so I was looking forward to learn the detailed story behind the bringing to justice of another Nazi thug. However this book is all over the place and it just didn't hold my attention. There are so many fantastic historical books on Audible that I don't want to waste time forcing myself to listen to poor writing - I returned it.

Very disappointing!
