Good Book

This is a good book. I was hoping to have a book that really outlined the plot to kill Hitler and this book does pretty good. Has some pictures and a good overall story line.

Operation Valkyrie - a starting point

Galante's "Operation Valkyrie" is not only a very decent overview of the the July 20th assassination attempt on Hitler, but also an introduction to some of the other attempts on Hitler's life. Although not perfect, Galante's description of the Valkyrie plot and the personalities involved is...

Excellent Addition To Military History Literature

This fine little book goes well beyond it's putative story, the plots to assassinate Hitler. It delves into several war campaign details, reporting a surprising amount of information about the Germans' war against Russia. It contains many eyewitness recounts of conversations with Hitler,...
