Das Attentat (niederländischer Originaltitel De Aanslag) ist ein Roman von Harry Mulisch aus dem Jahr 1982. Die deutschsprachige Ausgabe erschien 1986 in der Übersetzung von Annelen Habers im Carl Hanser Verlag.
Schuld und Verantwortung sind die zentralen Themen des Werkes. Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung ist der rote Faden, der die fünf Episoden der Geschichte durchzieht. Hauptperson ist der zu Beginn des Romans 12-jährige Anton Steenwijk, der, obwohl er es leugnet, den Rest seines Lebens mit der Untersuchung des Ausgangsgeschehens beschäftigt ist.

Work Description
It is the winter of 1945, the last dark days of World War II in occupied Holland. A Nazi collaborator, infamous for his cruelty, is assassinated as he rides home on his bicycle. The Germans retaliate by burning down the home of an innocent family; only twelve-year-old Anton survives.
The Assault traces the complex repercussions of this nightmarish event on Anton’s life. Determined 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 others who were involved in the assassination and its aftermath, until Anton finally learns what really happened that night in 1944, and why.
