An intriguing portrait of the central figure in the July 1944 bomb plot against Hitler and a gripping and authoritative account of the planning and execution of the conspiracy.
Peter Hoffmann is William Kingsford Professor of History, McGill University, and the author of The History of the German Resistance, 1933-1945.
"Peter Hoffmann's study of Claus, Graf Stauffenberg and his brothers is a work of enormous erudition. It gives a convincing portrait of one of the central figures in the July 1944 bomb plot against Hitler. Particularly interesting is the evidence which Hoffmann has uncovered of the influence of the poet Stefan George, with his view of the special destiny of an idealistic elite, on the Stauffenberg brothers. The book also gives a gripping and authoritative account of the planning and execution of the conspiracy itself." Jonathan Wright, Christ Church, Oxford
