Roger Moorhouse: Killing Hitler
Die Attentäter, die Pläne und warum sie scheiterten (Deutscher Titel)

Buchbesprechung auf Deutsch

Das im Marix Verlag erschienene Buch "Killing Hitler" von Roger Moorhouse handelt von 20 Versuchen, Hitler umzubringen. Auf 430 Seiten, die spannend und interessant geschrieben sind, berichtet der britische Historiker Roger Moorhouse von Attentätern wie Maurice Bavaud, Georg Elser, Hans Oster, Claus von Stauffenberg und anderen.

Er porträtiert diese Menschen aus dem Widerstand gegen den Faschismus und zeigt ihr Umfeld sowie ihre Motive auf. Ausführlich und gut verständlich schildert Moorhouse die historischen Entwicklungen und gibt auch den nationalsozialistischen Tätern ein Gesicht. Dieses hervorragend übersetzte Buch ist eines der besten Bücher über die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus, das ich kenne. | © Elmar Driver

Roger Moorhouse: Killing Hitler
The Third Reich and the Plots against the Führer (English title)

Book review in English

"Killing Hitler" was originally published by Jonathan Cape, London. I've read the German translation. This book is about 20 attempts to kill Adolf Hitler. The book contains 430 pages, full of suspense and information. The British historian Roger Moorhouse talks about would-be assassins like Maurice Bavaud, Georg Elser, Hans Oster, Claus von Stauffenberg and others.

He shows them as characters and writes about their motives and origins. Moorhouse gives the reader a deeply understanding of history in that time and shows us the fascits and their personalities as well. This is one of the best books that I've read about the Third Reich. | © Elmar Driver

This book sounds very interesting if you enjoy this subject.

I have only seen movies and documentaries on Hitler and the Holicust
I don't think I could sit through a book on it.

Thanks Elmar for always bringing new ways of learning and sharing
the best of books and movies.

Your translations are wonderful also since you do have many fans
who only read English
