Get Churchill : shorty.
Old Adolph is having not a great time of it as the Allies begin to make gains in various theatres of war, so he hatches a spy-raid type plot to kill Churchill while he is not as easily defended.
To do this involves landing a team near a small town, and being assisted by a couple of local ratzi sympathisers.
A decent enough book, nothing particularly good.

I tried to get into this book, I really did, but it failed to capture me.
I love espionage novels, 'Eye of the Needle' being a really
good one, but this book... the characters failed to draw me
in. It took some effort to finish it.
Notice the number of times alcohol is mentioned in this book.
People keep drinking as if they are paid for it...
Try Frederick Forsyth instead.

Higgins turns the characters upside-down; good and evil are not always where we would think to find it. Yes, the Germans were human too. The characters are very real and convincing. He claims that 50% of the story comes from true accounts. I highly recommend this read.
A movie by the same name was made shortly after this novel came out. It is about a failed plot to capture or kill Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Himmler of the Nazi SS gives orders for a plan in which a group of highly trained paratroopers land on the coast near a small town in the U.K., then move inland for the assault.
Before the Germans could breach the town, two operatives were placed there months in advance. One an elderly spy, the other a young Irishman sent to gather up arms for the assault. The Irishman ends up befriending the townspeople, then later the German paratroopers rescue a boy from drowning.
Wish you well

As one who loves history, I must say that this book is a great thriller, gives you a "feeling" of history, and is a *must* for anyone who is interested in the history of WWII, and is looking for fiction books regarding that period.
The phrase "can't put it down" usually express one's positive impression from a book he read, meaning he enjoyed it very much. Higgins "The Eagle Has Landed" gives this pharse its' literally meaning: you really can't put it down! time flies, hour by hour, and you read page after page, thrilled to know what happens next...
It's my very first Higgins books ever. Now I know for sure I'm going to read his other novels. Bravo!

A world war two book that captures the mind of all readers!! Noone ca forget about when their not reading it!! Max Radl never disobyed his master, the Admiral. But his loyalty to the Admiral is only outdone by his loyalty to the Fhurer. So when Hitler starts to think anything is possible, he decides that someone should capture Churchill! The Admiral tells Radl to forget about it ( something that the Fuherer is soon to do). But soon believes it is possible and tries it!! This book combines love and action into one!!
