Description

The last member of Operation Valkyrie - the daring July 20 1944 plot to assassinate Hitler - tells his remarkable story. 'The last of its kind ... celebrates a long-since vanished generation ... as idealistic as they were brave' Daily Mail'A remarkable and honest testament to the courage of the small band of resisters who dared to try and stop Hitler and his lunacy' News Letter'Astonishing' Daily Telegraph'An invaluable testimony ... infused with great honesty' Le Monde'It was not the question of an isolated assassination, but rather of beginning a complete overthrow of the regime'July 20 1944.

A fearless group of German officers attempted to act against the horrors of Nazism and put an end to the war by killing Adolf Hitler.

But Operation Valkyrie failed, and one by one the plotters were found out, tortured and executed.

Philipp von Boeselager - who supplied the explosives that would rip through the Führer's bunker - miraculously escaped death. In this unique memoir Philipp tells his extraordinary life story and the part he played in this, and three other dramatic attempts on Hitler's life.

He recounts how a small band of resisters dared to stop evil and prevent profound loss of lives.

Ultimately they failed but the legacy of their courage endures.
