Sunday Times bestselling historian Thomas Harding explores the brutal murder of the Einstein family—the forgotten crime of WW2.

Tuscany, 1944. A group of Nazi soldiers arrive at the farm of Robert Einstein—Albert's cousin. Over the next few hours, four lives will be first terrorised then destroyed. The soldiers vanish. For eighty years, this crime has remained unsolved. Now Thomas Harding peels back the layers of history to discover the truth. Who ordered the killings? Who was involved? And, most importantly, why?

The Einstein Vendetta unravels this historical mystery, combining meticulous research with a gripping narrative to uncover one of the darkest untold stories of the Second World War.
