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."
