PLOTS AGAINST 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.
