Target Eisenhower : military and political assassination in WWII

See all formats and editions

It might be said that we, the British, started the terrorism of our own time in 1942 - it was the beginning of a new era of political and military warfare and thereafter all major political and military leaders were potential targets.

Hitler, more than once, Churchill, who always carried a revolver, twice, Bradley, Patton and Montgomery were all threatened at one time or another - all started by the cold-blooded murder of SS Gruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich.

This is the never-before-told story of the attempt on Ike's life, hushed up for over half a century or more.

It is an aspect of WWII never related before. It is the true story of what really happened to Heydrich and Leslie Howard.

Allied leader Churchill and Inspector Thompson, his sole bodyguard, challenging the assassins armed with only two revolvers when Stalin, Roosevelt etc. had whole battalions of secret service men and soldiers to protect them.

This WWII story, which details the start of a new kind of state terrorism that has in our own time instigated two wars in Iraq, caused major crises in both the UK and the USA, and is obviously going to be the dreadful pattern of the future, is now told at last.
