Written 50 years ago and it's still the best secondary source on Bonhoeffer I've read. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer is a deeper theologian than many late twentith-century studies allow. Green's book takes us back to Bonhoeffer's earlier years and shows the depth of his practice that allowed for the radical stance he took to defend what he believed. An excellent study that will provide resources for many years to come.

Where others conflate Bonhoeffer to fit their contemporary narrative, Clifford does an excellent job drawing conclusions from Bonhoeffer himself, understanding a continuity of development in theological thought.

The chapter on Religionless Christianity is probably the best summary I have read.
