Historical thriller depicts events surrounding a July 20, 1944 plot by German Army officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler.

ABSTRACT
Defeat looked to be an inevitable outcome for the Nazis in the fifth year of their World War II campaign, as significant advancements made on both ends of the European continent by Allied forces led to an unstoppable turning of the tide. A last-ditch attempt to stave off oblivion transpired on July 20, 1944, when German Army officers led by Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg tried -- and failed -- to "save Germany from Hitler", a coup dramatized in Valkyrie.
