Klappentext
They've got three days to win the war . . .
A special 50th anniversary edition of the era-defining WWII classic that captivated millions worldwide.
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.
