- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It gives a good portrait of the fascinating man Stauffenberg as well as, and I didn't expect this, a good overview of German literature and culture with good parts on Goethe, Stefan George etc. The authors seem to be well read and I really appreciated the parts where they discuss the struggle between rational and irrational in German culture. In total, the book gives you some insights into the enigmatic Stauffenberg as well as a interesting discussion on what the true meaning of courage, honor and moral. After reading it I felt refreshed and high in spirits. Highly recommended as an introduction to Stauffenberg's life and ideas.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Like many German soldiers during WWII, Claus von Stauffenberg was not a Nazi and hated those who were. Unlike many of these soldiers, Stauffenberg played a key role in the (spoiler) unsuccessful 1944 Hitler assassination plot. That Stauffenberg and his co-plotters were brave is not in doubt. Perhaps what was somewhat in doubt was their links to mystical Germanic beliefs, although the authors aren’t want for trying to make the link. Overall, a well-written book that leaves much to ponder.
