Killing Hitler: The Plots, The Assassins, and the Dictator Who Cheated Death by Roger Moorhouse

Killing Hitler: The Plots, The Assassins, and the Dictator Who Cheated Death by Roger Moorhouse as the title suggests this is a history of various assassination attempts against Adolf Hitler. Coverage is not only of the well-known General's plot but also consists of various obscure attempts and considered attempts. There's superb background information on unusual plots and on Hitler's security. There is an excellent section on the Polish resistance to the Germans. The Polish resistance is all but unknown in the West I was unaware of it. The book is well worth it just for this chapter. Moorhouse spent quite a bit of time in the archives as well.

Highly recommended!
