Industry Reviews "Glazer has written a popular biography that follows Bonhoeffer and his intimates from the early days of Hitler's government. Bonhoeffer had traveled outside Germany and knew ministers in foreign Protestant churches; he became a valuable asset of the numerous conspirators--led by Admiral Canaris, head of the Abwehr (military intelligence)--who set out to execute a coup d'etat and negotiate an end to the war....Readers, whether Christian or not, will find this book both enlightening and inspiring."
