SynopsisRe-released on its 25th anniversary, this classic novel is widely considered to be Higgins' greatest work. Threatened on all sides, a desperate Adolph Hitler orders that Winston Churchill be kidnapped or killed. Meanwhile, a beautiful widow and IRA assassin have laid the groundwork for the most treacherous plot of the war, beginning when Berlin receives the message, "The eagle has landed"., As the Allied forces slowly begin turning the tide of war, Hitler vehemently orders the impossible-kidnap Winston Churchill, or kill him. A crack team of commandos led by a disgraced war hero must venture into the heart of England to carry out their mission, or die trying. Meanwhile, in a quiet seaside village, a beautiful widow and an IRA assassin have already laid the groundwork for what will be the most treacherous plot of the war. It begins on November 6, 1943, when Berlin receivs the fateful message . . . "THE EAGLE HAS LANDED . . ." "First rate . . . a fascinating adventure story." -San Francisco Chronicle "The master's master of World War II spycraft storytelling. . . . A superb and mysterious tale." -United Press International
Expanded from the original published edition, this is the version Higgins wanted to be published but was turned down. A great adventure with plenty of ups and downs.
