Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg 
Wagnis – Tat – Erinnerung

Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg is a modern myth: A soldier in Hitler’s Wehrmacht, assassin and icon of the German resistance, whose name is inextricably linked with the 20th July 1944. Defamed after his act, driven out after the war for a long time in public debate, Stauffenberg today is present in the books and films as well. This book skilfully presents a life sketch of the Hitler Assassin and illuminates, above all, a modern icon of German history, as well as an assassin. Because Stauffenberg=s legacy and the new interpretations are just as interesting as his biography. The book is also aimed at those who want to know more about his life and the assassination attempt on Hitler.
