Paul Maracin - Night of the Long Knives: Forty-Eight Hours That Changed The History Of The World

I am grateful for the assistance of my daughter, Paula Maracin-Krieg, whose assertiveness and German language fluency enabled me to personally retrace the steps of some of the perpetrators and victims of the Night of the Long Knives, especially at Bad Wiessee, Mnich, Dachau, and Berchtesgaden. And I would be remiss not to recognize the contributions of my editor, Jonathan J. McCullough. His interest and suggestions were most helpful in preparing material for this book.
