From 1919 onwards, there were many people who wanted to kill Hitler. But
when he became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, the desire became more
urgent. After all, what do you do when the leader of your country has
destroyed all political freedoms, annexed all power and is leading all
of its people towards destruction? This is a story of all the plots
against Hitler, of secret meetings in freezing fields, of bombs in
briefcases, of conspiracies against the life of the Fuhrer, with a
cast-list of soldiers, senior politicians, members of the resistance,
schoolteachers, theologians, and even a humble carpenter. In all, there
were more than 32 attempts against Adolf Hitler's life and this book
documents every doomed effort to dismantle the Nazi machine by striking
off its head.
