Disobeying Hitler: German Resistance After Operation Valkyrie
Signed first edition, first printing of Disobeying Hitler: German Resistance After Operation Valkyrie by Randall Hansen, published in hardcover by Doubleday Canada in 2014. The title page is inscribed in blue ink, “With thanks for your kindness,” and signed by Hansen beneath his printed name. No recipient's name is included in the inscription.
Hansen examines German resistance after the failed July 20, 1944 attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, broadening the story beyond Operation Valkyrie to the officers, officials, soldiers, and civilians who refused destructive orders during the final phase of the Second World War. The book considers how acts of disobedience affected Paris and other European cities, helped preserve infrastructure, and prevented additional loss of life as the Third Reich collapsed.
This substantial historical study is illustrated with photographs and maps and includes bibliographical references and an index. The photographed interior spread features a full-page image of Cologne's Hohenzollern Bridge after its destruction by the retreating Wehrmacht in 1945.
Very Good overall, with light general handling or surface wear visible to the dust jacket. The jacket is now protected in a removable clear plastic cover. The representative photographed interior spread is clean and legible, without apparent writing, tears, stains, or foxing. The book will be carefully packed to help protect the jacket, clear cover, and signed title page in transit.
