‘Trott was a brave and honourable man, a passionate patriot, incapable of anything ignoble or unworthy, and he served what he regarded as being the deepest interests of his own countrymen and decent people everywhere' - Sir Isaiah Berlin

Almost seventy years after the July plot to kill Hitler there is still controversy about the motives of the conspirators.

Adam von Trott zu Solz was at the centre of that plot.

In this acclaimed biography Giles MacDonogh examines the idealism and patriotism that were essential parts of Trott's character.

Trott worked tirelessly to find support for the German resisters but his patriotism was misinterpreted by some of his British and American contacts.

The Allies refused to aid Trott and his fellow conspirators, missing the chance both to remove Hitler and to end the war early.

After the failure of the bomb plot Trott and his friends were subjected to show trials and then brutally executed.

This is the authoritative biography of a tragic and heroic man, one of the few Germans who stood up to Hitler's tyranny and was not afraid to die for his principles.
