When on July 20, 1944, a bomb--boldly placed inside Hitler's headquarters by Colonel Count Claus von Stauffenberg--exploded without killing the Fuhrer, the subsequent coup d'etat against the Third Reich collapsed. "Valkyrie" is an abridgment of Gisevius's classic insider's account "To the Bitter End."

Paperback / softback. New. When on July 20, 1944 a bomb - placed inside the Wolf's Lair by the German Anti-Nazi Resistance - exploded without killing the Fuhrer, the coup d'etat against the Third Reich collapsed. The conspirators were shot or condemned in show trials and hanged. This work traces its history, from the 1933 Reichstag fire to Germany's defeat in 1945.
