Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born in Germany in 1906. His father was Karl Bonhoeffer, a noted critic of Sigmund Freud, and a psychiatrist. Bonhoeffer decided to pursue a career in theology, even studying abroad in the United States. He returned to Germany in 1931, where he was ordained. He was a firm anti-Nazi from the earliest days, being pretty outspoken about it, causing serious issues with the Nazi regime. He became involved in the underground German resistance movement. This book was less detailed than I would have liked, but did offer a decently broad overview about Bonhoeffer and his activities in the anti-Nazi movement.
