Description

A TIMES BEST REDISCOVERED BOOK OF 2025 'Fuelled with energy, drama and emotional weight, combined with a light touch and a fast-moving story. Grab it while you can' Times 'Acknowledged as Holland's finest novelist' Guardian 'Mulisch is a rarity ... an instinctively psychological novelist' John Updike In the bitter final months of the Second World War, the body of a Dutch Nazi collaborator is found on the doorstep of an ordinary family home. The repercussions are complex and terrible: the family is killed and the house burned to the ground; only the twelve-year-old son, Anton, survives. Following Anton as he reckons with this trauma through his life, The Assault is a powerful excavation of resistance and the collateral damage wrought on innocent people in times of war. A runaway bestseller that sold 200,000 copies on first publication, this is a classic of Dutch literature from one of the greatest European writers of his time. With an introduction by Thomas Harding, author of Hanns and Rudolf

Media Reviews

Harry Mulisch belongs to the first rank of Dutch novelists of his generation -- J. M. Coetzee, Nobel Laureate and two-time Booker Prize winner
As a parable of war, whose guilts and neuroses reach well into the present, this novel is so persuasive. It is Mulisch's triumph to have revealed all this with an X-ray cunning * The New York Times Book Review *
A genuinely great man of letters, the writer many acknowledge as Holland's finest novelist * Guardian *
Artful in its study of postponed knowledge and nightmare * Kirkus *
Mulisch is a rarity ... an instinctively psychological novelist -- John Updike
Fuelled with energy, drama and emotional weight, combined with a light touch and a fast-moving story. Grab it while you can * Times *
A brilliant, bracing novel unlikely to lose relevance any time soon * Daily Mail *
Twists and turns in interesting ways * Jewish Chronicle *
