Dying we live: Letters written by prisoners in Germany on the eve of execution - Edited by Hellmut Gollwitzer, Käthe Kuhn and Reinhold Schneider

A reprint of the famous collection of letters. 

Poet and priest, farm boy and diplomat, student and professor - these are the letters they wrote as they waited for death. All were Germans who had stood firm in their opposition to Nazi tyranny and all were prepared to die rather than betray their beliefs. The letters they wrote from condemned cells to their wives and sweethearts, their parents and children, their friends and colleagues, all show the same courage and serenity in the face of death and total conviction that the cause they were dying for was a God's cause. 

'No cause for sorrow but rather for great joy.'
