Download or read book Endkampf written by James Jackson and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1942. The war grinds on, losses mount, and the Allies search for a magic bullet that will bring a swift conclusion. When their intelligence services are approached by a senior officer of the German Abwehr, a process begins that could shatteringly alter the course of history. James Jackson comments: 'While visiting locations linked to Operation Foxley - the embryonic British intelligence plan to assassinate Adolf Hitler - I became immersed in the subject. Having then discovered that the wartime heads of both MI6 and the American OSS met Admiral Wilhelm Canaris of Germany's military intelligence in Spain to discuss a possible overthrow, the pieces for a thriller fell into place. This is the result.'
