Plotting Hitler's
Death, The German
Resistance To
Hitler 1933-1945 By
Joachim Fest, History
Book
£4.99
PLOTTING HITLER'S DEATH brings the full story of german resistance against the Nazis to a popular audience. Time & again, small numbers of Germans, civilian & military, noble & ignoble, schemed to topple the Fuhrer, & on several occasions they came within minutes
- or inches
- of succeeding. Fest recounts the famous 1944 attempt & the lesser known 1938 attempt to topple Hitler. He also recounts the numurous isolated individuals & conspirators that plotted against the dictator. As powerful & compelling as any thriller, this vivid & absorbing account explores why they tried, why they found so little support either in Germany or outside it, & why they failed. This book has 419 pages & is 19.7cm x 12.8cm x 2.7cm

Product Description

Jack Bick is an interview journalist at a glossy lifestyle magazine. From his office window he can see a black column of smoke in the sky, the result of an industrial accident on the edge of the city. 

When Bick goes from being a high-functioning alcoholic to being a non-functioning alcoholic, his life goes into freefall, the smoke a harbinger of truth, an omen of personal apocalypse. An unpromising interview with Oliver Pierce, a reclusive cult novelist, unexpectedly yields a huge story, one that could save his job. But the novelist knows something about Bick, & the two men are drawn into a bizarre, violent partnership that is both an act of defiance against the changing city, & a surrender to its spreading darkness.

With its rich emotional palette, Plume explores the relationship between truth & memory: personal truth, journalistic truth, novelistic truth. It is a surreal & mysterious exploration of the precariousness of life in modern London.
