Einstein's
German World
by Fritz Richard Stern
The intellectuals of Albert Einstein's generation spun gold, Stern
shows. Their number included Paul Ehrlich, the inventor of chemotherapy;
Walther Rathenau, a captain of industry with an informed love of literature
and music; and Fritz Haber, a physicist who discovered a means of fixing
nitrogen from the air. All were swept away, murdered or sent into exile,
by the events of the 1920s and '30s. Surveying the ruins of World War II,
the French philosopher Raymond Aron remarked to Stern, "It could have been
Germany's Century." Amazon.com

On
the Road to the Wolfs Lair : German Resistance to Hitler
by Theodore S. Hamerow
An insightful account of the plot to assasinate Hitler in July 1944.
Though written as an historical account, On the Road to the Wolf's Lair
reads at times like a spy thriller, complete with intrigue and danger.
It is also meticulously researched, offering insight into the rise and
fall of the Third Reich from the perspective of German resisters who once
supported the movement. What is most interesting about the members of the
civil service, military, and the clergy who came to oppose Hitler is that
they initially embraced the party warmly, many of them sharing the
nationalist fervor and anti-Semitism that characterized the Third Reich.
In fact, it was their level of enthusiasm that originally granted them
their high status and privilege within the dictatorship. Amazon.com

A
Testament to Freedom : Essential Writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Book Description: Dietrich Bonhoeffer was only thirty-nine years
old when he was executed in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, yet his
courage, vision, and brilliance have greatly influenced the twentieth-century
Church and theology. Particularly through his bestselling classic, The
Cost of Discipleship, Bonhoeffer profoundly shaped such minds and movements
as Martin Luther King, Jr., and Leonardo Boff, civil rights and leberation
theology.
A Testament to Freedom, completely revised and expanded for this edition,
includes previously untranslated writings, excerpts from major books, sermons,
and selected letters spanning the years of Bonhoeffer's pastoral and theological
career. This magnificent volume takes readers on a historical and biographical
journey that follows Bonhoeffer through the various stages of his life--as
teacher, ecumenist, pastor, preacher, seminary director, prophet in the
Nazi era and, finally, as martyr in pursuit of peace and justice.

To
the Bitter End : An Insider's Account of the Plot to Kill Hitler, 1933-1944
by Hans Bernd Gisevius, Peter Hoffmann, Richard Winston (Translator),
Allen Dulles
This chronicle of German resistance begins in 1933 with the torching
of the Reichstag and ends with a bang--literally--in 1944 with a failed
bomb plot to knock off the Fuehrer. Hans B. Gisevius was an observer and
participant in these events, working to undermine the Nazi regime from
within (he served in German counter- intelligence). All along, he considered
himself a patriot, even though this book contains a ringing condemnation
of the German people for their complicity in Hitler's wicked regime. To
the Bitter End was written practically as events unfolded, smuggled out
of Germany in portions because Gisevius wasn't sure he would live to complete
it, and first published in 1946. It offers a firsthand account of Nazi
Germany and the various underground efforts to prevent Hitler from doing
what he ultimately did. Gisevius may not have earned credit for halting
the tragedy, but he does offer today's readers important lessons about
the nature of dictatorship and the seductive powers of evil. Allen Dulles,
who played a small role in helping Gisevius escape from Germany after the
failed assassination, wrote the foreword. --John J. Miller, Amazon.com
