Dust jacket now protected in an archival quality Mylar wrapper fitted without the use of tape or adhesives. Rudolf Hess (1894-1987) was deputy Fuhrer to Adolf Hitler from 1933 to 1941. His daring, fruitless flight to Britain was one of the outstanding episodes of the Second World War. In the introduction to this book his wife, Frau Ilse Hess, describes those fateful days in May 1941. Thereafter she lets her husband speak through his own letters of the lone flight to Scotland and the adventurous night landing by parachute. The letters describe his years of imprisonment in England, months in the dock at the post-war Nuremburg trials and his thoughts and conversations behind the walls of Spandau prison. As the letters unfold, they also reveal how Hess reconciled himself to his fate - Hess voices little resentment but nonetheless passes judgement on the politicians of destruction of 1941, on the Tribunal of 1946 and on the goalers at Spandau.
