On 20th July 1944 a German officer,
Colonel Count von Stauffenberg,walked into
Hilter's field Headquarters,placed a briefcase under the table and waited for the bomb it contained to explode.When it
went off,it failed to kill Hitler.
This attempt on the Fuehrer's life was not the suicidal act of one man,but the culmination of a carefully planned operation involving many men and high-ranking officers of the German Army in Berlin,Paris and elsewhere.
H. H. Kirst has turned this dramatic and heroic attempt to overthrow Hitler into the stuff of a magnificent novel.Names,
dates,places are all authentic; much of the dialogue is taken from official documents.With a master storyteller's sense,H. H. Kirst has interpreted the events and replaced them in their true historical context.From the initial stages
of the plot to the hunt for the conspirators,from the savage interrogations to the People's Court and the execution of the heroes,the author has
drawn an unforgettable picture of one of the most singular episodes in German history.
