Thanks for the rec, Billi. Resisting Hitler is available as an ebook in English here and here.

How did you feel about Brysac's presentation of the life of the only American woman ever executed for treason during WWII, let alone the only one tortured and beheaded on Hitler's orders?

And of course, Mildred Harnack's German husband was killed as well, as were many of the couple's friends and family members.

by Shareen Blair Brysac but unfortunately I can't tell you anything about its availability as paper or e-book (I've read the German translation).
