Editorial Reviews
Review
“This clear and well-written introductory review of the resistance in Nazi Germany, drawn from a small selection of German (translated) and English secondary works, is for general readers and public libraries.”–
Book Description
Target Hitler not only documents the plots of many individuals and groups who actively opposed the Nazis, it acknowledges the perseverance of Nazi insiders against Hitler, including General Ludwig Beck and Lieutenant-Colonel Hans Oster, whose ceaseless activity in the German resistance may be unknown to many readers. This eminently readable narrative concentrates on the efforts of a group of conspirators within the German army who first began to plot against Hitler in the fall of 1938, and whose story culminates in the famous July 1944 bombing. Target Hitler is a work of historical significance. For as Duffy and Ricci remind us, it is important to know and remember that even in the most tyrranical states, with all the odds against them, there are men and women who are willing to risk all in order to oppose evil.
