Orbach deftly analyzes the mixed motives, moral ambiguities and organizational vulnerability that marked their work, while reminding us forcefully of their essential bravery and rightness.

A year later, all political parties but the Nazis had been outlawed, freedom of the press was but a memory, and Hitler's dominance seemed complete. Yet over the next few years, an unlikely cadre of conspirators emerged--schoolteachers, politicians, theologians, even a carpenter--who would try repeatedly to end the Führer's genocidal reign. This dramatic account is history at its most suspenseful, revealing the full story of those noble, ingenious, and doomed efforts. \u003cbr\u003e Orbach's fresh research offers profound new insight into the conspirators' methods, motivations, fears, and hopes. We've had no idea until now how close they came--several times--to succeeding. \u003cem\u003eThe Plots Against Hitler\u003c\/em\u003e fundamentally alters our view of World War II and sheds bright--even redemptive--light on its darkest days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781328745675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.20d","brand":"Danny Orbach","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43049538551989,"sku":"9781328745675","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ad4c15d5-7bbd-44d6-8d50-833939d87054.jpg?v=1689690920","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-plots-against-hitler-9781328745675","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
