A new and definitive account of the anti-Nazi underground in Germany and its numerous efforts to assassinate Adolf Hitler.

---

In 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. A year later, all parties but the Nazis had been outlawed, freedom of the press was but a memory, and Hitler´s dominance seemed complete. Yet over the next few years, an unlikely clutch of conspirators emerged - soldiers, schoolteachers, politicians, diplomats, theologians, even a carpenter - who would try repeatedly to end the Fuhrer´s genocidal reign .

Danny Orbach´s meticulously researched book tells the story of their noble, ingenious, and doomed efforts. This is history at its most suspenseful : we witness secret midnight meetings, crises of conscience, fierce debates among old friends about whether and how to dismantle Nazism , and the various plots themselves being devised and executed.
