They’ve got three days to win the war . . .

Celebrating 50 years of the WWII classic that defined a generation — with a new introduction by Peter James.
–

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.
