   Hi All,

   " Born and raised in Milwaukee, Mildred Harnack was twenty-six when she   
   enrolled in a PhD program in Germany and witnessed the meteoric rise of the   
   Nazi party. In 1932, she began holding secret meetings in her apartment?a   
   small band of political activists that by 1940 had grown into the largest   
   underground resistance group in Berlin. She recruited working-class Germans   
   into the resistance, helped Jews escape, plotted acts of sabotage, and   
   collaborated in writing leaflets that denounced Hitler and called for   
   revolution. Her co-conspirators circulated through Berlin under the cover of   
   night, slipping the leaflets into mailboxes, public restrooms, phone booths.   
   When the first shots of the Second World War were fired, she became a spy,   
   couriering top-secret intelligence to the Allies. On the eve of her escape to   
   Sweden, she was ambushed by the Gestapo. At a Nazi military court, a panel of   
   five judges sentenced her to six years at a prison camp, but Hitler overruled   
   the decision and ordered her execution. On February 16, 1943, she was strapped   
   to a guillotine and beheaded.   
      
   "Historians identify Mildred Harnack as the only American in the leadership of   
   the German resistance, yet her remarkable story has remained almost unknown   
   until now.   
      
   "Harnack's great-great-niece Rebecca Donner draws on her extensive archival   
   research in Germany, Russia, England, and the U.S. as well as newly uncovered   
   documents in her family archive to produce this astonishing work of narrative   
   nonfiction. Fusing elements of biography, real-life political thriller, and   
   scholarly detective story, Donner brilliantly interweaves letters, diary   
   entries, notes smuggled out of a Berlin prison, survivors' testimony, and a   
   trove of declassified intelligence documents into a powerful, epic story,   
   reconstructing the moral courage of an enigmatic woman nearly erased by   
   history.
