The story of the attempts to kill Hitler has been told before... but [Moorhouse's] survey can claim originality thanks to the inclusion of plots hatched by non-Germans.
David Cesarani, Literary Review
Roger Moorhouse's enthralling book accounts for a whole gallimaufry of foiled assassination attempts on the Fuhrer, which ranged from the sublime near miss to ridiculous schemes worthy of Mel Brooks.
Roger Lewis, Sunday Express
The first detailed account of the numerous attempts to kill one of history's most reviled dictators.
Herald
Highly readable... Moorhouse tells his story briskly and sensibly.
Richard Overy, Sunday Telegraph
In Killing Hitler, Roger Moorhouse has found a new approach to the story of the Third Reich which is both original and authentic.
Norman Davies
Such is Moorhouse's story telling power that we await every fresh attempt on Hitler's life with the hope that this one will succeed... A story as gripping as it is authentic.
Joseph E. Persico, author of Roosevelt's Secret War
This book shows what a murderous place Hitler's Reich was, and that the Fuhrer had the devil's own luck.
M.R.D. Foot
Very readable... a gripping account.
Tim Kirk, Times Literary Supplement
