In the charnel house that was Europe in the Second World War, there were few instances of shining moral courage, let alone secular sainthood. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian and Nazi resister, was the exception. A true hero, he risked and finally lost his life through his participation in a failed plot to assassinate Hitler. In this gripping, resonant novel, we witness the shaping of this emblematic figure through the events of his extraordinary life. Here is Bonhoeffer experiencing the awakening of his social conscience while witnessing racism in the United States, leading a breakaway church in Germany as the Nazis rise to power, entering a dangerous liaison with a Jewish woman, undertaking perilous clandestine meetings abroad under cover, and finally, living the dark night of the soul in prison.
