An engaging range of period texts and theme books for AS and A Level history. In this innovative new study, Frank McDonough provides a clear account of opposition and resistance towards the Nazi regime from 1933 to 1945 and presents the historical debate surrounding this important aspect of the history of Nazi Germany. The book concentrates on the individuals and groups that resisted and opposed Nazi rule, including the Christian churches, industrial workers, youth groups and sections of the army, whose resistance culminated in the assassination attempt against Hitler in July 1944.
It can be difficult to find resources on opposition to the Nazi regime, a feature often neglected by textbooks. I was teaching an A level synoptic unit on the Third Reich and found McDonough's book to provide an excellent basis for study of this area, replete with good primary source material as a primer to unpick the issues.
Good for initial scholarly reviews

A good review of the few resistance movements within Nazi Germany. Great for a primer, and for use as a base reference for knowledge of where to look for more in depth materials for Nazi Reistance movements within Germany.
