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

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

A gripping account, which is thoroughly researched, but wears its scholarship lightly enough to be read like a good political thriller

Highly readable... Moorhouse tells his story briskly and sensibly

In Killing Hitler, Roger Moorhouse has found a new approach to the story of the Third Reich which is both original and authentic

Such is Moorhouse's story telling power that we await every fresh attempt on Hitler's life with the hope that this one will succeed... A story as gripping as it is authentic

Few books on the Third Reich offer a genuinely fresh perspective on the period but Roger Moorhouse's engrossing chronicle of the plots against Hitler does

This book shows what a murderous place Hitler's Reich was, and that the Fuhrer had the devil's own luck

The first detailed account of the numerous attempts to kill one of history's most reviled dictators

Osborne has written a fluent and fascinating book.... Read and enjoy this remarkable book
