Reviews"Peter Hoffmann's study of Claus, Graf Stauffenberg and his brothers is a work of enormous erudition. It gives a convincing portrait of one of the central figures in the July 1944 bomb plot against Hitler. Particularly interesting is the evidence which Hoffmann has uncovered of the influence of the poet Stefan George, with his view of the special destiny of an idealistic élite, on the Stauffenberg brothers. The book also gives a gripping and authoritative account of the planning and execution of the conspiracy itself." Jonathan Wright, Christ Church, Oxford

Edition DescriptionRevised edition

SynopsisMost of us are aware of the attempt to assassinate Hitler but few know about those behind it. In this history Peter Hoffmann reveals the tragic and heroic life of Claus von Stauffenberg, South German aristocrat and would-be assassin of Adolph Hitler. He details Stauffenberg's formative years, showing how his relationship with his brothers Berthold and Alexander, their association with the circle of the poet Stefan George, and their professional and political development led them to resist the tyranny of Hitler and the German government, first through established channels but culminating in the attempted assassination and coup of 20 July 1944. This book is based on a comprehensive collection of sources including family papers, correspondence and information from numerous contemporaries, and includes a collection of illustrative material. This second edition includes important information Hoffmann has discovered since the book was first published.", An intriguing portrait of the central figure in the July 1944 bomb plot against Hitler and a gripping and authoritative account of the planning and execution of the conspiracy.
