Paperback. Condition: New. A Note from the AuthorThis book turns on secrets.One secret is buried in the deep, dark forest of Katyn, Poland. The other in the pages of a notebook kept in a modest café in Lwow, an ancient Polish city. The principal contributors to the Scottish Book, as the notebook was called, were professors and several pure mathematicians from the nearby university. While the mathematicians' musings were dismissed by some as esoteric scribblings, when the Nazis overran Poland in 1939 the Book mysteriously vanished from its hiding place in the café. Some of its authors vanished too, fleeing to America to avoid certain death. With their freedom came recruitment for the Manhattan Project.Also very real are little-known places like Bad Nenndorf, the British interrogation center for hardcore Nazis before they were sent to Ashcan, the manor house near London for a three-dimensional and certainly more aggressive "debriefing"; Wünsdorf, the principal oversight warren for the Wehrmacht OKW during World War Two and the victorious Soviet Occupation forces in the Cold War Era; and the Hill of Goats located in the chilling forest of lost souls-a place called Katyn. A thought, then, to keep uppermost in your mind as you read this story.If the Scottish Book was of little importance then why, as a ruthless world war reached its ugly end, did the NKVD, Gestapo and yes, even the Allies, desperately seek to find and secure its contents?Why has its existence not factored into the telling of Second World War history?After years of in-depth research, I believe I have discovered an extremely plausible look into what might have been and, in all probability, one of the last great secrets of the Second World War. Until now. Moscow Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik (The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) 8 July 1937 Before 1917, Alexander Fedin had been a key activist in the Marxist Underground, personally in charge of smuggling illegal literature between Russia and Europe. After the Revolution, his close friendship with Lenin had propelled him to become secretary to the influential Moscow Party Central Committee and after that to a lofty post within the Comintern, the international organization of the Communist Party. As befitting his status, the Fedins were provided an apartment on the top floor of the House on the Embankment, the principal residence for Party élite, located as it was on the tadpole-shaped island of Balchug, a mere stone's throw from the Kremlin and the ominous lair of the Supreme Leader. Perhaps what ultimately doomed Fedin had been his speech at the most recent plenum of Central Committee, where he accused the Narodnyi Komissariat Vnutrennikh Del (NKVD) of fabricating evidence. He called for a commission to review the overseas work of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union. Perhaps it was the private comments he had made to a close circle of friends as he entered the conference hall of the Supreme Soviet for the 1936 Comi.
