For the first time in one enthralling book, here is theincredible true story of the numerous attempts to assassinate AdolfHitler and change the course of history.
Disraeli once declared that “assassination never changed anything,”and yet the idea that World War II and the horrors of the Holocaustmight have been averted with a single bullet or bomb has remained atantalizing one for half a century. What historian Roger Moorhousereveals in Killing Hitler is just how close–and how often–historycame to taking a radically different path between Adolf Hitler’srise to power and his ignominious suicide.
Few leaders, in any century, can have been the target of so manyassassination attempts, with such momentous consequences in thebalance. Hitler’s almost fifty would-be assassins ranged fromsimple craftsmen to high-ranking soldiers, from the apolitical tothe ideologically obsessed, from Polish Resistance fighters topatriotic Wehrmacht officers, and from enemy agents to his closestassociates. And yet, up to now, their exploits have remainedvirtually unknown, buried in dusty official archives and obscurememoirs. This, then, for the first time in a single volume, istheir story.
A story of courage and ingenuity and, ultimately, failure, rangingfrom spectacular train derailments to the world’s first knownsuicide bomber, explaining along the way why the British at onetime declared that assassinating Hitler would be “unsporting,” andwhy the ruthless murderer Joseph Stalin was unwilling to order hisdeath.
It is also the remarkable, terrible story of the survival of atyrant against all the odds, an evil dictator whose repeatedescapes from almost certain death convinced him that he wasliterally invincible–a conviction that had appalling consequencesfor millions. Roger Moorhouse studied history at the University of London andis currently reading for a PhD in modern German history at theUniversity of Strathclyde. He was co-author with Norman Davies ofMicrocosm: Portrait of a Central European City and is aregular contributor to BBC History Magazine. He is marriedwith two children and lives in Buckinghamshire, England.
