Hitler and the July Plot

Hitler and the July Plot explores the dramatic events of 20 July 1944, when a group of senior German officers attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler and overthrow the Nazi regime. Led by Claus von Stauffenberg, the conspirators placed a bomb inside the Wolf's Lair conference hut in East Prussia — an explosion that killed four people but left Hitler with only minor injuries. Drawing on the roles of Ludwig Beck, Henning von Tresckow, Friedrich Olbricht, and other key figures, this book examines the motivations, planning, and execution of Operation Valkyrie, as well as the brutal reprisals that followed, which saw thousands arrested and many executed. Perfect for WW2 historians, military enthusiasts, researchers, and collectors, this volume offers a clear, authoritative account of the most famous attempt to end Hitler's rule from within Germany itself.
