Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Resistance

Drawing on newly available diaries, transcripts, reminiscences of participants, and archives, Sabine Dramm has thoroughly researched and written a new, more detailed, and comprehensive view of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's role in the resistance against Adolf Hitler and the conspiracy on his life. Dramm's work explores the double life that Bonhoeffer led from the time of his return to Germany in 1939, digs into the activities that Bonhoeffer undertook for the resistance, details just how extensive the network of conspirators was among Bonhoeffer's friends and family, and for the first time really shows how and why the whole family was drawn into resistance.
