About This Item
USA: Thomas Nelson, 2011. Soft cover. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A very clean copy which feels unread. As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer-a pastor and author. In this New York Times best-selling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life-the theologian and the spy-and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil. Metaxas presents the fullest accounting of Bonhoeffer's heart-wrenching decision to leave the safe haven of America to return to Hitler's Germany, and sheds new light on Bonhoeffer's involvement in the famous Valkyrie plot and in "Operation 7," the effort to smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerland. In the first major biography of Bonhoeffer in forty years, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life?the theologian and the spy?to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.
Reviews
On Aug 25 2014, a reader said:
For me, this was an informative, readable book. I was sobbing in parts...it's the kind of book that will change you and your perspective on life. I have heard varying stances on certain aspects of Bonhoeffer, and I thought, for the most part, that Metaxas presented in fairness the reasons for those varying opinions. The book made me want to read more on the subject, but not before having a bit of time and space to digest it.
