Gripping Accounts of Attempted Assassinations
Although I was aware of some attempts on Hitler’s life, I did not know that there were so many and from so many different sources – both within Hitler’s entourage as well as far away from it. The author has provided well-researched and reasoned renderings of a subset of these attempts – the most fascinating and surprising ones. But in addition to discussing these various attempts in detail, the author has also presented much valuable information on the background history and evolving politics of Germany from the end of World War I to the end of World War II. The brutality of the Nazi regime is also amply discussed. As expected, particular attention has been paid to the instigation, structure and evolution of Hitler’s security organization. The book’s writing style is clear, friendly, authoritative and very engaging. It should be most relished by history buffs that have a penchant for the Second World War.
