520    "An enthralling work of popular history that vividly 
       resurrects the web of everyday Germans who resisted Nazi 
       rule. Nazi Germany is remembered as a nation of willing 
       fanatics. But beneath the surface, countless ordinary, 
       everyday Germans actively resisted Hitler. Some passed 
       industrial secrets to Allied spies. Some forged passports 
       to help Jews escape the Reich. For others, resistance was 
       as simple as writing a letter denouncing the rigidity of 
       Nazi law. No matter how small the act, the danger was the 
       same--any display of defiance was met with arrest, 
       interrogation, torture, and even death. Defying Hitler 
       follows the underground network of Germans who believed 
       standing against the Fuhrer to be more important than 
       their own survival. Their bravery is astonishing--a 
       schoolgirl beheaded by the Gestapo for distributing anti-
       Nazi fliers; a German American teacher who smuggled 
       military intel to Soviet agents, becoming the only 
       American woman executed by the Nazis; a pacifist 
       philosopher murdered for his role in a plot against 
       Hitler; a young idealist who joined the SS to document 
       their crimes, only to end up, to his horror, an accomplice
       to the Holocaust. This remarkable account illuminates 
       their struggles, yielding an accessible narrative history 
       with the pace and excitement of a thriller."--|cProvided
