Hitler's Spy Chief - The Wilhelm Canaris Mystery


I've had this book for a while but I finally took the time to sit down and read it right before we left for Paris and finished it on the plane ride there. It's about Wilhelm Canaris, a naval officer in Germany who served as chief of the Abwehr and was continually seeking to undermine Hitler's regime.

The author doesn't paint Canaris in too positive of a light, he was a Nazi after all, but he stresses the sincere efforts Canaris made to work against Hitler's insane policies.

A good book on an unknown WWII topic, 8/10.
