Book Description Hardback. A novel that probes moral devastation following a Nazi retaliation in a Dutch town. "The Assault" has been translated and published to great critical acclaim throughout Europe and in the United States. It is the winter of 1945, the last dark days of the ware in occupied Holland. A Nazi collaborator, infamous for his cruelty, is assassinated as he rides on his bicycle. The Germans retaliate by slaughtering an innocent family: only the youngest son, twelve-year-old Anton, survives. "The Assault "traces the complex repercussions of this nightmarish event on Anton's life. Determined not to forget, he opts for a carefully normal existence--a prudent marriage, a successful career, and colorless passivity. But the past keeps breaking through, in relentless memories and in chance encounters with the other actors in the drama, until Anton finally learns what really happened that night in 1945, and why. 1985, First english edition. A near fine copy only marked by a small stain to the top edge of the text block. The d/w is unclipped and very good with very light sunfading to the spine and light age tanning to the rear panel. A lovely copy. Seller Inventory # 9640214
