Praise for Plotting Hitler’s Death:
‘A marvellous account of the brave men who failed to assassinate Hitler. Was it their fault – or ours? Joachim Fest’s controversial book argues that the Allies were in part to blame as early as 1938 in ignoring the efforts of the German resistance to stop Hitler.’
‘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.’
