Synopsis
KIRKUS REVIEW Insights into a special sort of warfare are explored here through the example of Hitler's spectacular commando, Otto Skorzeny, whose wartime appointment was mainly chance but whose skill was not. Convinced that the secret weapon is Man, he pitted the individual mind against the well-trained soldier mass-mind to achieve such improbable feats as rescuing Mussolini from an embattled mountain-resort prison -- by glider -- and kidnapping the uncooperative Horthy from Hungary in a carpet.
