Affordable and portable resource for World War II enthusiasts and historians interested in the Nazi era. Features many historical events that are little known, especially the early 'lone wolf' assassination attempts, and the range of very different motivations that inspired the plotters. From 1919 onwards, there were many people who wanted to kill Hitler. But when he became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, the desire became more urgent. After all, what do you do when the leader of your country has destroyed all political freedoms, annexed all power and is leading all of its people towards destruction? This is a story of all the plots against Hitler, of secret meetings in freezing fields, of bombs in briefcases, of conspiracies against the life of the Fuhrer, with a cast-list of soldiers, senior politicians, members of the resistance, schoolteachers, theologians, and even a humble carpenter. In all, there were more than 32 attempts against Adolf Hitler's life and this book documents every doomed effort to dismantle the Nazi machine by striking off its head. Offers a full context for each plot over the entire Nazi period from 1919 to 1945. This is history brought to life and made exciting. Other books on this theme have started at 1933 but this book includes earlier plots from 1919 on. Word count: 55,000 (tbc). Read Less
