Countdown to Valkyrie: The July Plot to Assasinate Hitler

Nigel Jones
4.9/5 (25639 ratings)
Description:There were more than 40 plots to assassinate Adolf Hitler. But none came closer to success than the July Plot of 1944. And no other conspiracy came so close to changing the course of the Second World War. The mastermind of the Valkyrie plot was Count von Stauffenberg. A member of the German General Staff, he was a decorated war hero. But he had never been a supporter of the Nazis. And after an attempt to assassinate Hitler in November 1943 failed, Stauffenberg developed a new plot to kill him at the Wolf's Lair Headquarters on 20th July 1944. After the the Fuhrer's assassination, Stauffenberg planned to take control of the Germany forces and sue for peace with the Allies.The War would have ended far earlier - and with a German government still in charge of Germany, In ground-breaking detail, Nigel Jones tells the true story of that remarkable conspiracy - from the meticulous planning that went into it, to the nail-biting tension of the day itself, and to the ruthless hunting down of the conspirators after it failed. It is the most completely work on the July Plot - and a book that nobody interested in World War Two will want to miss. Nigel Jones is a British historian, journalist and biographer.Praise for Nigel Jone's 'The Tower': In writing about the Tower's glory days, Nigel Jones has produced a wonderfully rollicking history of England itself.
