Killing Hitler: The Plots, the Assassins, and the Dictator Who Cheated Death by Roger Manley is a historical non-fiction book that delves into the numerous attempts made on Adolf Hitler's life during World War II. The book explores the various plots, assassination attempts, and the dictator's ability to cheat death, ultimately leading to his downfall. The book begins by introducing the reader to the main characters involved in the attempts on Hitler's life, including Claus von Stauffenberg, Fabian von Schlabrendorff, and Henning von Tresckow, all of whom were high-ranking German military officers who became disillusioned with Hitler's leadership and sought to end his reign of terror. The author then delves into the various plans and schemes devised by these individuals to kill the dictator, each of which failed due to Hitler's cunning and luck. One of the most notable attempts was the July 20th Plot, led by von Stauffenberg, which involved planting a bomb in Hitler's briefcase.
