Overview
The runaway New York Times bestseller, revised and with a new introduction from the author.
Who better to face the greatest evil of the 20th-century than a humble man of faith?
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 his blockbusterĀ New York TimesĀ bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoefferās lifeāthe theologian and the spyāand draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil. Metaxas presents the fullest accounting of Bonhoefferās heart-wrenching decision to leave the safe haven of America to return to Hitlerās Germany, and sheds new light on Bonhoefferās involvement in the famous Valkyrie plot and in āOperation 7,ā the effort to smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerland. In a deeply moving narrative, Metaxas uses previously unavailable documents?including personal letters, detailed journal entries, and firsthand personal accounts?to reveal dimensions of Bonhoeffer's life and theology never before seen.
