The Third Reich and the Plots Against the Fuhrer
The story of the attempts to kill Hitler has been told before... but [Moorhouse's] survey can claim originality thanks to the inclusion of plots hatched by non-Germans -- David Cesarani * Literary Review * Roger Moorhouse's enthralling book accounts for a whole gallimaufry of foiled assassination attempts on the Fuhrer, which ranged from the sublime near miss to ridiculous schemes worthy of Mel Brooks -- Roger Lewis * Sunday Express * A gripping account, which is thoroughly researched, but wears its scholarship lightly enough to be read like a good political thriller * Times Literary Supplement * Highly readable... Moorhouse tells his story briskly and sensibly -- Richard Overy * Sunday Telegraph * In Killing Hitler, Roger Moorhouse has found a new approach to the story of the Third Reich which is both original and authentic -- Norman Davies
