This vintage book contains a fascinating and detailed biography of the heroic chief of German military intelligence who opposed Hitler at the cost of his own life; Wilhelm Franz Canaris. Wilhelm Franz Canaris (1887 - 1945) was chief of the Abwehr, the German military intelligence service, between 1935 and 1944. He was a key figure in the secret opposition to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. Amongst his actions to oppose Hitler, was his attempt to sabotage Hitler's plan to absorb Czechoslovakia, his advising Franco not to help the Germans pass through Spain, and his pivotal role in organising a spy network in Spain. Canaris was executed in a concentration camp for high treason. Contents include: "At the Height of His Ambition", "Operation Kama", "The Spanish Adventure", "The Russian Knot", "Operation Otto", "The Conspiracies Begin", "A Glimpse of Canaris", "Between Peace and War", "The Great Mobilisation", "The Admiral Helps a Lady", "The Double Dutchman", "Norway", etcetera.
