4.9/5 (26649 ratings)

Description:This tells of an American woman who gave her life in the struggle against the Nazi regime. As members of a resistance group, Mildred & her husband, Arvid Harnack, assisted in the escape of Jews & political dissidents, providing economic & military intelligence to both Washington & Moscow. But in 1942, following a Soviet blunder, the Gestapo arrested, tortured & tried 80 members of the group, which the Nazis dubbed the Red Orchestra. Mildred Fish-Harnack was guillotined in Berlin on 2/16/43, on the personal instruction of Adolf Hitler--the only American woman executed as an underground conspirator. Yet as WWII ended & the Cold War began, her courage, idealism & self-sacrifice went largely unacknowledged in America.PrefacePlötzenseeTransfigurationChum Nonconformist A radical marriage Scholar Comrade Pilgrim Hostess Literary figureStranger Resister Spy?
