Why did many of Adolf Hitler’s initial followers, many of whom enjoyed positions of influence under his rule, later risk it all to attempt his assassination? They were a variedly disreputable crew, espousing everything from anti-Semitism to flagrant elitism, qualities to which Hitler himself adhered. Yet they found reason to turn against him. Theodore S. Hamerow introduces these people in On the Road to the Wolf’s Lair not as heroes but as flawed beings who refused to blindly follow a movement. | On the Road to the Wolf’s Lair by Theodore S. Hamerow, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
