About this title: Count Helmuth James von Moltke was an authentic German hero. A brilliant young Oxford-educated international lawyer, he was in 1939 a rising star in the German Foreign Ministry - and passionately opposed to Hitler. Unable, by faith and political foresight, to condone the use of violence in the struggle against the Nazis, he turned his formidable political and lawyerly talents loose in two great campaigns.

"This book is interesting only as a fuller picture of Von Moltke but does not compare to Blood and Iron historically. His dedication to his ideals shines through but it would have been foolish for him to reveal anything in letters so that they are expectedly void of detail. The fact that Freya is still alive was important to my reading it."
