Rezensionen
Fastinating that I read this in early 1985. What motivated that?
Author FitzGibbons write about a failed plot to kill Adolf Hitler that has become well known from the 2008 film Valkyrie. The book, originally published in 1956, in about what happened on July 20, 1944 in East Prussia. The plot looks at which German generals participated and what influences the Allies has on their decision. Although the author provided a bibliography of the newspapers and periodical articles he used in researching, there are not footnotes to support his thesis. Overall, the book is a good representation of the situation by 1950 standards.

Book received from NetGalley.
This is an older book on what most people know as Operation Valkyrie. I had known just the basics prior to reading this book and I actually learned quite a bit. While it is a reprint and there are multiple newer books on the subject, I think this one had quite a bit of information on the subject and I will hopefully be adding it to my history bookshelf.

Vi følger et England, hvor Braithwaite bliver premierminister på en nedrustningspolitik, hvor de amerikanske baser bliver nedlagt og England nedlægger egne militærbaser, hvorefter et russisk Inspektorat bliver indsat.
