Book Description
One man’s part in the Nazi plan to assassinate Hitler during WWII—and “an interesting account of one of the key figures in the resistance movement” (Britain at War). As the descendant of an aristocratic family from Westphalia, Germany, Kurt Baron von Plettenberg served as an officer in both world wars. But he never supported the twisted ideals that drove the Third Reich. So, when he found a group of soldiers—including Operation Valkyrie mastermind Claus von Stauffenberg—who realized the true insanity of the Nazi regime, von Plettenberg was compelled to join the resistance that was growing within Hitler’s own circle. On July 20, 1944, the plot to assassinate the führer was finally put into action. Unfortunately for von Plettenberg and his fellow conspirators, the effort failed. Von Plettenberg was not immediately discovered as one of the conspirators. But only a few weeks before the end of the war, he was condemned and arrested. It was then that he was forced to make a terrible decision: betray his friends under torture—or do what his personal honor dictated . . . This gripping biography shows for the first time how von Plettenberg found a way to prevail during those dark days and how significantly he influenced the resistance against Hitler.

After Operation Valkyrie--the failed July 20, 1944, plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler and seize control of the German government--both the Third Reich and Hitler came to a violent end.

The Eclectic Internationalisation Strategies of Emerging Market Multinationals in Agribusiness
Author: Douglas Robinson
Publisher: Cuvillier Verlag
ISBN: 3736979134
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
The business environment for the agri-food sector is becoming increasingly complex and is characterized by considerable environmental, social and economic pressure. In addition to these challenges, companies from middle-income countries are increasingly operating internationally in the agri-food sector, further complicating the competitive and business landscape for existing players. Through the market failure internationalization paradigm, this research examines the internationalization strategies of companies from China in the agricultural sector. Chinese companies are considered an excellent example of internationalization by emerging market companies, facing the dual domestic challenge of scarce agricultural commodities and a growing middle class. This discourse provides internationalization insights valuable for other emerging market firms and policy makers, while contributing to the current debate of decoupling from China in an agrifood context. It provides critical perspectives for agribusiness managers for use in strategic planning, along with insights for policy makers who are under increasing pressure over economic relations with China.

Fighting the Kaiser's War
Author: Andrew Lucas
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1783463007
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Personal accounts of the Great War experiences of British soldiers are well known and plentiful, but similar accounts from the German side of no man's land are rare. This highly original book vividly describes the wartime lives and ultimate fates of ten Saxon soldiers facing the British in Flanders, revealed through their intimate diaries and correspondence. The stories of these men, from front-line trench fighters to a brigade commander, are in turn used to illustrate the wider story of thousands more who fought and died in Flanders 'for King and Country, Kaiser and Reich' with the Royal Saxon Army. This ground-breaking work is illustrated with over 300 mostly unseen wartime photographs and other images, recording the German experience of the war in human detail and giving a rounded picture of how the Saxons lived and died in Flanders.

The Hitler Assassination Attempts
Author: John Grehan
Publisher: Frontline Books
ISBN: 1399018914
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Throughout his political life, Adolf Hitler was the subject of numerous assassination plots, some of which were attempted, all of which failed. While a few of these have become well known, particularly the bomb explosions at the Bürgerbräukeller in Munich in 1939 and the Stauffenberg Valkyrie attempt carried out at the Wolfsschanze on 20 July 1944, many others have received far less attention – until now. In this book, John Grehan has examined the known planned or proposed assassination attempts on Hitler, from Chicago to London and from Sweden to the Ukraine – some of which have not previously been presented to the general public by historians. All manner of methods were proposed by those willing to bring Hitler’s life to a premature and sticky end and Hitler was well aware of the danger which lurked potentially around every corner of every road, railway track, every building and even every individual. As a result, an immense, multi-layered security apparatus surrounded the Führer day and night. Despite this, and knowing the risks they faced, many people sought to kill the German leader, and some very nearly did. Yet Hitler survived, often by just a minute or a millimetre, to die ultimately of his own hand. These plots and conspiracies are detailed in this book, along with a unique collection of photographs of many of the proposed or actual assassination locations. All will be revealed in this fascinating compilation of the obscure, the fanciful and the carefully considered attempts to assassinate Hitler.
