This is a new release of the original 1947 edition.

Originally published in 1947, this book chronicles the assassination attempts on Adolf Hitler, both of which Fabian von Schlabrendorff, a major leader in the resistance against Hitler, played a direct role.

One of the few survivors of the German Resistance, von Schlabrendorff traces his anti-Nazi activity from his student days in the 1920s, through Hitler's rise to power, to the war and his involvement in the July 20, 1944, plot.

He was sent to Gestapo prison where he was tortured, but refused to talk. He remained in captivity until freed by the Allies in May 1945. This edition includes a new Preface by Steve W. Chadde and additional photographs.

This is the first book to reveal the truth about the now infamous Operation Valkyrie.

One man’s part in the Nazi plan to assassinate Hitler during WWII—and “an interesting account of one of the key figures in the resistance movement” (Britain at War).
