Synopsis
Rudolf Hess flew to Britain seventy five years ago, in one of the most extraordinary and bizarre episodes of the Second World War. Hess parachuted into Scotland on 10 May 1941 to the astonishment of the British Government. It was the very same day that the House of Commons was burnt to the ground by German incendiary bombs. In a New and Expanded Edition of his book The Truth About Rudolf Hess , James Douglas-Hamilton explores many of the myths which still surround the affair. He traces the developments which persuaded Hess to undertake the flight without Hitler`s knowledge, and shows why he chose to approach the Duke of Hamilton. In the process he highlights the importance of Albrecht Haushofer, one-time envoy for Hitler and Ribbentrop and consultant on foreign affairs to Hess, who was eventually executed by the SS without trial because of his involvement with the German Resistance to Hitler. Drawing on British War Cabinet papers and the author`s unparalleled access to both the Hamilton papers and the Haushofer letters, this New Edition of The Truth About Rudolf Hess takes the reader into the heart of the Third Reich, combining an account of tumultuous and murderous events, with a scholarly historical approach.

hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
