BEN MACINTYRE, The Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the last months of the  war, Hitler ordered the poisoning, blocking,  and wrecking of all ports  across Europe; the destruction of all  industries, railroads, bridges,  utilities supplies, archives and  museums in Europe; and the destruction  of the most beautiful city in  the world: Paris. Thanks to the  determination and bravery of a few,  including those who paid with their  lives, Hitler's orders were often  disobeyed. The result was a profound  and lasting effect on the war and  its aftermath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this  fascinating and gripping book, Randall  Hansen explores the extraordinary  phenomenon of disobedience and its  consequences: \u003cbr\u003eWould Rommel have  opened the Western Front to the Allies  on July 20, 1944 had he not been  shot up a few days earlier? \u003cbr\u003eDid Albert  Speer single-handedly prevent the  destruction of bridges, factories,   towns,and all features of civilized  life? \u003cbr\u003eDid the actions of one  Prussian General save Paris from total  devastation? \u003cbr\u003eAnd why were some  German cities defended to the last man,  leading to a great loss of life  and the cities' complete destruction,  while others surrendered without  a fight?","brand":"Hansen, Randall","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":53084109177171,"sku":"XV80571284511","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":44311111008546,"sku":"9780571284511","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/hansen-randall-randall-hansen-disobeying-hitler-2014-hardback-1222013736.jpg?v=1771693089","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/disobeying-hitler-h-b-z44","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
