The story of Rudolf Hess has been the subject of more speculation than any other Nazi leader except Adolf Hitler. Hess's flight from Augsburg to Scotland in May 1941, purportedly in an attempt to negotiate peace, continues to fascinate students of World War II, while his long incarceration in Spandau Prison before his death in 1987 at the age of 93 still casts a long shadow on the consciences of many observers and commentators. The authors, both aviation historians, attempt to resolve many of the riddles surrounding Hess's surrender, using archival sources in Britain, Germany, and America; eyewitness accounts; and the assistance of Hess's son Wolf Rüdiger Hess and the Duke of Hamilton, whose father Hess had named as a contact.
