Imagine a military leader who dares protest the actions of his twisted, mendacious, even murderous commander in chief, knowing he risked his career and ultimately his life.
Such a man was Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, the chief of the Abwehr, Nazi military intelligence, from 1935 to—spoiler alert—his death by hanging in 1945.

Johnson’s subtitle is, “How Hitler’s Chief of Intelligence Betrayed the Nazis,” and the author seems determined to illuminate the better angels of Canaris, who was executed by the Nazis only weeks before the end of the war under suspicion that he’d plotted to overthrow Der Führer.
Butler could be the big one.
