A SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY EDITION TO COMMEMORATE 80 YEARS SINCE THE EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS OF 1943

Sophie Scholl and the White Rose tells the gripping true story of five Munich university students who set up an underground resistance movement in World War II.

The thrilling story of their courage and defiance, brought to life in the Oscar-nominated film Sophie Scholl - The Final Days, is beautifully told in this special 80th anniversary edition of Annette Dumbach & Jud Newborn's critically acclaimed work.

Acclaim for Sophie Scholl and the White Rose:

'The animated narrative reads like a suspense novel.' New York Times

'Powerful and compelling... Among the indispensable literature of modern political culture.' Hans-Wolf von Wietersheim, Das Parlament

'A dramatic story of courage during the darkest period of the 20th Century... And it's a story with new chapters unfolding. This book is a fundamental resource and a memorable read.' Toby Axelrod, author and reporter

Originally published by Little, Brown in 1986 as: Shattering the German night : the story of the White Rose.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 228-232) and index.

Library Journal Review

Released in 1986 as Shattering the German Night, this was praised by critics, including LJ's reviewer, who found it "superbly written." It masterfully unfolds the story of five German university students and their professor, who formed a Nazi-resistance group dubbed the White Rose. This revised edition contains a ton of new information, a reworked introduction, a foreword by Studs Terkel, additional photos, and much more, expanding this remarkable tale. Essential for public and academic history collections. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
