    [synopsis] => "There was no sign of any movement from the car, or any sound coming from it. The Twins could not have timed it better. In that one moment, everything they had trained for came to fruition. They could never fully avenge their family, but at least this went some way towards it. At last, they got some revenge. And it felt sweet."

December 1941: after setting up one of the first resistance organizations in Vichy France and escaping over the Pyrenees into Spain, brothers Henry and Alfred Newton received devastating news. The SS Avoceta, carrying their parents, wives, and children to the safety of Britain, had been torpedoed by a German U-boat. All of their family were dead. From that moment on, the Newton brothers were, consumed by revenge. Recruited by SOE, and known to everyone simply as the Twins, they returned to France and waged their own personal war against the Nazis. For nine-months, they lived on the edge before they were, betrayed, and the net finally closed. They were, caught by the Gestapo and tortured at the hands of Klaus Barbie, known as the Butcher of Lyon, before being, taken to the dreaded Buchenwald concentration camp. For the first time in more than 60 years, acclaimed historian Peter Jacobs reveals the full story of Henry and Alfred Newton. Drawing on personal archives and new research, The Twins is a dramatic tale of courage steeped in vengeance-and of the bonds of brotherhood, in the face of hell on earth.
