‘A book that does full justice to the dramatic, heroic story of patriotic German officers and civilians, who from 1938 on – intermittently and under desperate conditions – sought to free Germany of Hitler’s criminal rule. A poignant account, brilliantly told…’
Also by Joachim Fest:
‘Joachim C. Fest… has written a book that combines the virtues of intellectual and narrative organisation with the attractions of bravura, and will clearly influence a whole generation of readers.’
‘The best single volume available on tortuous life and savage reign of Adolf Hitler; Fest tells the story as no non-German could, dispassionately, but from inside.’
‘Fest’s constant probing for insights into the nature of modern totalitarianism gives his book a unique and powerful intensity.’
