The July plot provides perhaps the highest single moment of drama in the Hitler epoch. Here is the audacious Stauffenberg, with his eye patch and the briefcase containing the time bomb. He leaves the conference room, hears the explosion and sees the destruction. He then flies to Berlin to set the revolution in motion, convinced that Hitler is dead.
The events that took place on July 20 at Hitler's Wolf's Lair and subsequently in Berlin and Paris have never before been set down in such dramatic detail or presented in so comprehensive and readable a form. The authors have drawn upon recently found documents, hitherto unpub-lished, and the personal assistance of many men and women who were involved in the conspiracy and survived Hitler's ven-geance. The unforgettable result, in the words of the London Sunday Times, is
"one of the most readable stories ever written about the war."
