A tense, morally weighty historical thriller about principled men attempting to assassinate Hitler and stop Nazi evil from within, built on careful plotting and the weight of impossible choices.

Wounded in Africa during World War II, Nazi Col. Claus von Stauffenberg returns to his native Germany and joins the Resistance in a daring plan to create a shadow government and assassinate Adolf Hitler. When events unfold so that he becomes a central player, he finds himself tasked with both leading the coup and personally killing the Führer.
