Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When Pearl Harbor was bombed in a surprise attack in 1941, Billy Waugh knew more about war than most twelve-year-old boys. He was astounded by the boldness of the paratrooper unit, and vowed to go to war one day. #2 In May 1942, two British-trained assassins, Jan Kubiš and Josef Gabčík, were sent to kill Reinhard Heydrich, a Nazi general. The existence of a British commando unit, Special Operations Executive, was a source of great controversy within the British military establishment. #3 The SOE was a British organization that trained commandos to infiltrate enemy-occupied territory and perform hit-and-run operations. The short-term goal of their efforts was to create paranoia among Nazi officials and embolden underground resistance movements. #4 On May 27, 1942, Reinhard Heydrich was assassinated in Prague by two British SOE commandos, Jan Kubiš and Gabčík. He was hit by debris from the bomb, which had been thrown by Kubiš. Heydrich was unable to move because of the debris lodged in his organs.
