The infamous reign of Adolf Hitler occurred half a century ago,
but how he managed to escape so many attempts on his life remains a
mystery. "Target Hitler" addresses the subject anew and is the only
book for general audiences which recounts this fascinating topic in
depth. Duffy and Ricci have pulled together the known and hitherto
unknown facts about the German resistance to create an absorbing
tale.
Although many Germans harbored deep hatred for the Nazis and
risked their lives trying to topple the regime, most of these
would-be assassins were forgotten or slighted in the history of
that period. The authors wish to right that wrong. This eminently
readable narrative concentrates on the efforts of a group of
conspirators within the German army who first began to plot against
Hitler in the fall of 1938, and whose story culminates in the
famous July 1944 bombing. Bound together by their religious beliefs
and a determination to rid their homeland of the Nazi scourge, some
of these men were generals, one a field marshal. It is intriguing
to think how the course of world history would have been altered
had these men accomplished their mission. That fate denied such an
outcome is tragic. But now, at least the bravery of those who tried
to rid the world of the horror Hitler inflicted will be remembered
as the heroes they are.
