"Rudolf Hess's daring, fruitless peace-flight to Britain was one of the outstanding episides of the Second World War. In the introduction to this book 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 adventurous night landing by parachute. The letters describe the years in English imprisonment, the months in the dock at Nuremberg, and Hess's thoughts and conversations behind the walls of Spandau Prison where he was been incarcerated in solitary confinement since 1947. There is not a bitter word in this book but it nevertheless passes judgement on the politicians of destruction of 1941, on the Tribunal of 1946 and on the gaolers of today. World literature knows only a few books in which Fate speaks so clearly." - back cover. First published in German in 1954. 151 pages. Black and white reproductions of archival photos. Initials atop first blank leaf and written notes atop page 14. Please note: Ink underlining throughout. Average wear. Binding tight. A worthy reference copy.; 8vo.
