Hess

"Since the night of Hess' landing on the lowlands of Scotland, the mystery of his flight has been probed and worried at by politicians, dictators, historians and readers alike. Theories have abounded, some reasonable, some ridiculous." "After seven years of dogged research John Harris has arrived at the ultimate solution." "The accepted view of the flight was that Hess was on a desperate lone mission to broker a peace deal with the British. But there were several men - rather important men in the general scheme of things - who didn't believe a word of it: Stalin and Roosevelt." "This book sets out to tie up the loose ends that dangle like parachute cords. The event is still shrouded in official secrecy and the curious complexity of the plot not yet fully revealed. For the first time the woefully misunderstood facts are uncovered: the dilemma of Hitler, the deviousness and ingenuity of the British Secret Service and the role of Mrs. Mary Violet Roberts, the old lady who was instrumental in luring Rudolph Hess to Scotland."--Jacket.
