" A riveting narrative of the organization, conspiracy, and sacrifices made by those who led the resistance against Hitler. Orbach deftly analyzes the mixed motives, moral ambiguities, and organizational vulnerability that marked their work, while reminding us forcefully of their essential bravery and rightness. And he challenges us to ask whether we would have summoned the same courage". In 1933, Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany. A year later, all political parties but the Nazis had be outlawed, freedom of the press was but a memory, and Hitler's dominance seemed complete. Yet over the next few years, an unlikely cadre of conspirators emerged-schoolteachers, politicians, theologians, even a carpenter-who would try repeatedly to end the Fuhrer's genocidal reign. This dramatic account is history at its most suspenseful, revealing the full story of those noble, ingenious and doomed efforts. Paperback Ed 2017
