On May 27, 1942, a
British-trained team of Czech partisans assassinated SS-Gruppenführer Reinhard
Heydrich, the Butcher of Prague. On news of his death, Adolf Hitler ordered the
village of Lidece burned and all males over the age of 16 killed in reprisal for
the assassination.
Decades later, a
squad of U.S. Army Rangers are ambushed in Central America and killed because of
the mysterious American who was Hitler’s Spy.
The two sets of
deaths are related in this fast-paced tale of alternative history — a world that
never was, but which might well have been, told in the inimitable style of
Arthur Rhodes.
