	Books in Canada - Review
		In the early chapters Hoffmann centers on the three Stauffenberg brothers, the youngest Claus, and the older twins, Berthold and Alexander, who were born at the start of the 20th century and were the German equivalent of the American Kennedy clan.
		The Stauffenberg Brothers were in contact with him from their youth, and at the time George was the premiere lyric poet of Germany, a German hybrid of T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, whose fragmented poems were filled with classical allusions, full of the myth of paradise, the "Secret Germany", lost and reclaimed.
		Stauffenberg is a celebrated hero and symbol of the German Resistance, and a great reminder that actions in the name of conscience, however futile, have as much merit as those historic actions that succeed.

		Nina Countess Schenk von Stauffenberg, who died on Sunday aged 92, was the widow of the German officer who attempted to assassinate Hitler with a bomb in July 1944; along with her husband's co-conspirators, she bore the brunt of the Führer's thirst for revenge in the weeks after the attack.
		Stauffenberg was noted among his peers for his dashing good looks and unorthodox opinions, but though he was later to be romanticised by admirers of the German resistance movement, as a young man much of his character was decidedly conventional.
		The four Stauffenberg children, of whom the eldest was aged 10, were placed in a state orphanage in Thuringia and given a new surname, Meister.

		In many Germanic and Frankish kingdoms in the early Middle Ages, the count might also be a count palatine, whose authority derived directly from the royal household, the "palace" in its original sense of the seat of power and administration.

	Stauffenberg, Second Edition
		In this family history Peter Hoffmann reveals the tragic and heroic life of Claus, Count Stauffenberg, South German aristocrat and would-be assassin of Adolph Hitler.
		Stauffenberg is based on the most comprehensive collection of sources yet used, including family papers, correspondence, and information from numerous contemporaries, and includes a unique collection of illustrative material.
		Particularly interesting is the evidence which Hoffmann has uncovered of the influence of the poet Stefan George, with his view of the special destiny of an idealistic élite, on the Stauffenberg brothers.

		The Stauffenbergs' consciousness of being much unlike the rest which is not unconnected with their holding with family and nobility traditions may put off present-day observers or confirm their biases.
		The principal motives of the Stauffenberg brothers were rooted in the consciousness of a family of the service nobility as well as in the intellectual and political history of their country.
		From the time the Stauffenberg brothers had been welcomed and initiated by the 'Master', there stood between them and the rest of the world an invisible wall which only those could penetrate who were familiar with and well affected toward the ideas of Stefan George.

		Stauffenberg's attempt failed because he was not prepared to be a suicide bomber and ensure the job was done properly.
		The intention of the plotters was to sue the Western Allies for peace, even hoping to keep some of their territorial gains, but leaving them free to concentrate on fighting the Soviet Union in the East.
		And Stauffenberg, as a fighting soldier, was not deterred by the burden of the Fahneneid or the Christian belief that a new state cannot be founded upon assassination."
