Sinossi
Una figura geniale che sfugge a ogni classificazione: la sua vicenda rappresenta un enigma dal fascino immortale. Wilhelm Canaris, responsabile del controspionaggio militare del Terzo Reich, maturò ben presto una profonda avversione al regime. Così, mentre Hitler trasformava la Germania in una delirante potenza del male, Canaris intraprendeva una pericolosissima campagna sotterranea per destabilizzarlo. Sospettato di reiterati tentativi di abboccamento con Churchill e di essere tra i registi dell'attentato dinamitardo ai danni del Führer nel luglio 1944, Canaris venne arrestato dal regime, torturato e impiccato nudo come traditore.

This is a book with insights but, I am afraid, too few insights to recommend it to the casual rather than the specialist reader who may be unable to see through the speculation and the implicit ideological positioning. However, when we reach 1938, there is a subtle shift in the book from a narrative Leggi tutto
Most histories of World War II give the impression that the conflict was a straightforward affair. Whether recounting the story of battles (Stalingrad, Normandy, Midway) or the tales of spies and saboteurs (Britain's SOE, America's OSS, Germany's Abwehr, they tend to draw straight lines from one eve Leggi tutto
Well I though this book was excellent. What an interesting man Canaris was, and Bassetts portrayal of him flowed easily for the reader. Outstanding, and on a par with Beevor.
Interesting stuff. I knew that the Nazi Germany espionage operation was almost comically bad based on a bunch of books from Ben MacIntyre, but I didn't realize that Hitler's spy chief himself was actually anti-Nazi. That's a serious personnel failure on the part of the Nazi organization. I have often Leggi tutto
