Can get a bit lost at times
|
I bought this book after reading the book titled, "The Wilheim Canaris Mystery." I was hoping to expand on my knowledge of German resistence during World War 2. This book does provide many interesting pieces of information but there is one major flaw. The writers believe that to understand the main character, it requires an examination of the history of Germany.
At times i found it easy to get lost in what they were trying to say. All the chapters relating specifically to Stauffenberg were good and flowed easily. The chapters that tried to deal with the rise of Prussia and Germany and of Stauffenbergs ancesters seemed a chore to read. They didn't flow and the style of writing differed from the chapters that dealt with the German Army of WW2.
To sum up-the book does have some valuable material, but gets lost in what to me was a serious digression of the point.
