Book Description
Living as a carpenter who had spent time working in a watch
factory, Georg Elser was just an ordinary member of society
living in Munich. That is, however, until he took it upon himself
to attempt to assassinate the Führer, Adolph Hitler. Being a common
man who opposed the Nazi regime, Elser took the skills from
his craft and worked to assemble his own bomb detonator. Every
night, he snuck out to the Munich Beer Hall, where he worked on
assembling the bomb that he planned to use to kill Hitler. Hidden in a hollowed-out space near the speaker’s podium, Elser’s
bomb went off successfully, killing eight people. Hitler was not one
of them.
is a powerfully gripping tale that places the reader in the dark
days of Munich in 1939, following Elser from the Munich Beer
Hall, across the border, and sadly, to the concentration camp where
his heroic life ended.
