Book
Defying Hitler : the Germans who resisted Nazi rule / Gordon Thomas and Greg Lewis.
"An enthralling work of popular history that vividly resurrects the web of everyday Germans who resisted Nazi rule"-- Provided by publisher.
Nazi Germany is remembered as a nation of willing fanatics, but countless Germans actively resisted Hitler. No matter how small the act, the danger was the same: any display of defiance was met with arrest, interrogation, torture, and even death. Thomas and Lewis follow the underground network of Germans who believed standing against the Fuhrer to be more important than their own survival. Their bravery is astonishing, and the authors illuminate their struggles, yielding an accessible narrative history with the pace and excitement of a thriller.
