Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, a general staff insider with open eyes (and access to the Führer), was convinced that assassinating Hitler was the only way to prevent the destruction of the Fatherland and the deaths of millions. On July 20, he hid a bomb-stuffed briefcase at a high-level meeting. The explosion tore through the room, but a table leg spared Hitler from the blast. The result was a witch hunt, a wave of executions, and a further pointless year of war. Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh deliver an exhilarating and definitive portrait of the anti-Nazi movement (called "Secret Germany") that almost killed Hitler. <I>Secret Germany</I> is the story of "World War II's boldest plot-that-failed" (<I>Time</I>), a coup that was a moral and spiritual necessity. 36 b/w photographs. 171111 1994 Secret Germany: Stauffenberg and the True Story of Operation Valkyrie total:9|5:0|4:3|3:6|2:0|1:0| 9 30 34 2 3059875 1602392692 9781602392694 7 1 3.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255653870m/3059875.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3059875.Secret_Germany_Stauffenberg_and_the_True_Story_of_Operation_Valkyrie 0 0 false Sun Jan 25 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jul 29 01:54:04 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 01:55:19 -0700 2009 177116 0099490064 9780099490067 2 1 3.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172446380m/177116.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/177116.Secret_Germany 3 0 false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Apr 23 16:17:06 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 07 13:22:35 -0800 2009

A skimming re-read before 30th as I will wish to shut my eyes when Cruise is on screen. Even before a skim I know that Cruise is a foot too short to play the rôle so I will be looking out for stilettos
