Hitler's Spy Chief: The Wilhelm Canaris Mystery

A remarkable tale of espionage and intrigueâ€”the true story of Hitlerâ€™s intelligence chiefÂ and his role in the conspiracy to assassinate the FÃ¼hrer.
Â
Admiral Wilhelm Canaris was appointed by Adolf Hitler to head the Abwehr (the German secret service) eighteen months after the Nazis came to power. But Canaris turned against the FuÂ¨hrer and the Nazi regime, believing that Hitler would start a war Germany could not win. In 1938 he was involved in an attempted coup, undermined by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.
Â
In 1940 he sabotaged the German plan to invade England, and fed General Franco vital information that helped him keep Spain out of the war. For years he played a dangerous double game, desperately trying to keep one step ahead of the Gestapo. The SS chief, Heinrich Himmler, became suspicious of Canaris and by 1944, when Abwehr personnel were involved in the attempted assassination of Hitler, he had the evidence to arrest Canaris himself. Canaris was executed a few weeks before the end of the war.
Â
In a riveting true story of intrigue and espionage, Richard Bassett reveals how Admiral Canarisâ€™s secret work against the German leadership changed the course of World War II.
