This book was interesting and informative.

I learned many new facts and re-learned some which had been forgotten from learning them in school.

The narration was good and the narrator easy to listen to, making the facts easy to understand and absorb.

Thank You for the review copy.

I have read extensively on the second world war so a lot of the references in this book felt familiar. It is a wonder how many people tried to end Hitler's life. Imagine, if that would have happened.

The Plots to Kill Hitler can be considered a collection of small plot points of all the times someone tried to kill him. It is good but if it has more details, perhaps, it would help. I think if someone picks this up without much background reading, it could be a little difficult to follow and relate. But I also understand that could be cumbersome.

Still I would say, this is definitely worth a listen for those interested in this subject.

An intriguing listen which felt rather long in places. Was very detailed and gave lots of information and attempts I had no heard of this. Factual I found this intriguing and a vompelling listen. The audio was of high quality. For me personally although i appreciate it is hard to be emotionitive with factual information ifound tone very monotone. I appreciate that may be due to the subject matter but i did tarnish my listening experience. I would recommended this to antone after a drtailed factual account of all known attempts on hotler. I found the detailed info very useful so its a solid 4 star liste.n. Thanks to netgallery and publisher and narrator for m arc

This audiobook gave a very compelling insight into Hitler, his life before and during the war, and the many attempts made by his enemies to take his life. The audiobook is well narrated too. My thanks to NetGalley and publisher for granting me a digital copy to review. I would recommend to anyone interested in WW2.

Richard Dargie presents a comprehensive overview of Hitler’s life and rise to power in this book. It has far more detail than I expected and it’s well set out. It follows Hitler from his early life to his alleged death in Berlin. I was aware of some of the attempts on his life but there were many more than those that are well documented. He certainly seems to have had a charmed life; he was a survivor in the army when hundreds around him died and for inexplicable reasons, went from being a stateless person for some seven years to a total despot and leader of millions. The narration throughout is balanced and easy to listen to. This should appeal to anyone interested in social history. It’s a fascinating insight and very accessible.

This was a very interesting and factual book, I knew that there had been many attempts on Hitlers life over the years of his life as a dictator, namely the Clous Von Stauffenberg attempt, but as a history buff it was educational for me to listen and learn abot all the other attempts.

It is well reserached and comprehensive and if you, like me, enjoy learning about history and things past, especially of this era then, i thourghly reccomend this book, either in audio or print.

Hitler was very lucky to have survived so many attempts and after each one, he thought he had some sort of destiny that was keeping him from being harmed.
One many only wonder what would have happened to the world if one had been successful?

This book highlighted plots and the brave people that have been mostly forgotten over the yeas, so this in fact is kind of a memorial to them.

Killing Hitler should’ve been an easy task he thought he was invincible and was being kept safe by the powers that be because he had a bigger purpose he came to this conclusion after A battle that included the 400 men and his company in World War I only 70 survived and it makes me wonder whatever happened to the other 69? In any event he would go on to re-Kavic in the world and many people would try and stop it from feeble attempts like poison letters to more legitimate undertakings like a suitcase bomb and many more. This is a great book that eny history fan would love like a lot of history books these days it is it written in academic terms but more conversational and it totally makes for much better reading from those that tried to kill Hitler to those that conspired to do it I found these stories interesting and I’m so glad I listen to this audiobook it was narrated by Matt Gordon who I thought did an awesome job there are many things in this book that are surprising in this book did something I love when books do and that is teach me things I didn’t know already what a great story and a definite five star audiobook. I want to think the author the publisher and net Gali for my free arc copy please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.
