From the bestselling authors of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail
and The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception, a stunning revelation of
Hitler's secret enemy -- Colonel Count Claus von Stauffenberg --
and Secret Germany's plot to kill the Fuhrer. At thirty-seven,
Colonel Count Claus von Stauffenberg, Chief of Staff of the Reich
Reserve Army, was a charismatic figure destined for supreme
command. The group of conspirators with whom he conceived a plot to
kill Hitler in July 1944 was called Secret Germany. That was also
the name of the esoteric circle in which Stauffenberg as a young
man had been a disciple of the mystic anti-Nazi magus and poet
Stefan George. What were the motivations of this extraordinary
aristocratic soldier, with the looks of a Hollywood idol and
reputed to be the only man to stare the Fuhrer down until he
averted his eyes? For Stauffenberg, the bomb plot was not a
political move but a moral and spiritual necessity. After forty-two
serious attempts on Hitler's life in the previous twenty years, why
did he not succeed? Had he done so, some would say he would have
become the de Gaulle of Germany, saviour of the nation's soul. Even
in failure, there can be no doubt of Stauffenberg's heroism. He
stands as atonement for the Third Reich and a resolution of the
conflicting myths of German culture. In this remarkable
investigation, his whole life explains a troubled past to the
present generations of Europeans.
