Behind the front lines of World War II, a clandestine war within a war was being waged in Nazi Germany. As the "Final Solution" unfolded and fascism swept across Europe, a network of German military officers, diplomats, politicians, and a smattering of civilians were doing everything in their power to undermine the Third Reich from the inside: reporting troop movements to the Allies, feeding disinformation to the Nazi high command, arranging risky evacuations of Jewish citizens, and hatching plots to assassinate Adolf Hitler (including the near-miss "Valkyrie" bombing). The Gestapo had a nickname for this loosely organized, shadowy confederation of traitors--the Black Orchestra. Among the key players in the Orchestra were Dietrich Bonhoeffer, an outspoken Lutheran pastor-turned-government agent, and his brother-in-law Hans von Dohnanyi, an attorney working under fellow conspirator Admiral Wilhelm Canaris at the Abwehr, the German military intelligence service. Motivated by moral and patriotic conviction, some with their own Nazi sins to atone for, these men faced constant danger of being exposed and executed. The book's tension, however, comes not just from watching these "white knights" attempt to derail the Third Reich (and sometimes succeeding), but also from what transpires when their treasonous activities are discovered--and their fates hang in the balance as the end of the war rapidly approaches"-- |cProvided by publisher. 505 00 |tHome and abroad -- |tFog of after-war -- |tSounds and fury -- |tChurch and stateless -- |tDangerous situation -- |t"Thinking with blood" -- |tWriting down, speaking up -- |tTending flocks -- |tParty's party -- |tEnemies of the state -- |tCrossing the line -- |tCostly grace -- |tMeeting of the minds -- |tBrinkmanship -- |t"Make it clear that you mean business" -- |tBig sell -- |tGetaway weekend -- |tUmbrella diplomacy -- |tCzechmate -- |t"That is a pity" -- |tGod and country -- |tSafe harbor -- |tLittle Greek -- |tDressed to kill -- |tUnspectacular evil -- |try, try again -- |tA bust and a boom -- |tAftershocks -- |tHot and cold -- |tCase yellow -- |tBrown birds and other sorrows -- |tCities of the dead -- |tExpendable -- |tV-Mann -- |tSad certainties -- |tSeeing stars -- |tSummer lightning -- |tFinal solutions -- |tWar and love -- |tOrchestrated espionage -- |tExecution nation -- |tTurning points -- |tSpecial delivery -- |tFacing the music -- |tFighting the dragon -- |tSomething very bad -- |tSecrets and survival -- |tMessages -- |tSunlight and shadows -- |tFire and smoke -- |tWhite knights -- |tBiding time -- |tLast straw -- |tSaving souls -- |tGerms and warfare -- |tOrchestra plays -- |tA fine mess -- |tOne week -- |tCustodian -- |tMerciless -- |tLost and found -- |tHome prison -- |tBirthday bombs -- |tBuchenwald -- |tUncertain life -- |tBombs and away -- |tRoad to somewhere -- |tBombshell -- |tFlossenbürg -- |tPaths. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Anti-Nazi movement |zGermany. 650 0 Government, Resistance to |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Dissenters |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 651 0 Germany |xHistory |y1933-1945. 650 6 Antinazisme |zAllemagne. |0(CaQQLa)201-0118923 650 6 Résistance au gouvernement |0(CaQQLa)201-0025627 |zAllemagne |0(CaQQLa)201-0392817 |xHistoire |y20e siècle. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378892 650 6 Dissidents |0(CaQQLa)201-0022339 |zAllemagne |0(CaQQLa)201-0392817 |xHistoire |y20e siècle. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378892 651 6 Allemagne |xHistoire |y1933-1945. |0(CaQQLa)201-0025091 650 7 HISTORY / Europe / Germany. |2bisacsh 650 7 Anti-Nazi movement. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00810297 650 7 Dissenters. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00895401 650 7 Government, Resistance to. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00945663 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 History. |2lcgft 852 0 |bscstacks |hDD256.3 |i.D826 2022
