Rudolf hess, Harris, John Wilbourn, Richard

Harris and Wilbourn have been researching the Hess case since his death in Berlin in 1987. They have pored over archives across the United Kingdom and Europe, examining close to ten thousand documents and uncovering new evidence in their quest to finally unravel the mysteries of the Hess flight. Drawing upon more than twenty-five years of painstaking research, the authors explain MI6s involvement in the incident, explore MI6s possible motives, and examine the role of the Polish government in exile, in particular the part played by arch federalist Josef Retinger. Harris and Wilbourns findings suggest that a separate peace was being negotiated outside of governmental channels, thus prompting Hesss flight to Scotland. Rudolf Hess explores these findings and more in an in-depth investigation of one of the most intriguing stories of World War II.
