In the tradition of Ken Follett and Nelson DeMille, The Double:
Churchill, Hitler, and the Duel over Rudolf Hess Jerome Tuccille,
whose best-selling biographies of Donald Trump, Alan Greenspan, the
Gallo wine clan, and others have earned him wide acclaim, turns his
talents here to a World War II espionage thriller concerning one of
the most controversial episodes of the war-the crash landing of
Rudolf Hess in Scotland. It reads like fiction. But did it really
happen? The solo flight of deputy fuehrer Rudolph Hess into
Scotland in May, 1941, was one of the more bizarre events of WW II.
Was Hess acting on his own or at Hitler's behest? Tuccille
(Hemingway and Gellhorn and other books) speculates that Hess has
been deputized by the fuehrer, sent on a mission to convince
England to cease hostilities in Europe so that Germany can
concentrate its forces against the mutually despised Stalinist
Russia. The proposal is presented to Winston Churchill, who, of
course, has an agenda of his own. The plot draws in Scottish
journalist Philip Jacobs (the author's source for the saga), who
suspects the British government is concealing a great deal in the
Hess affair and who comes perilously close to uncovering the full
story. The book is a riveting page-turner, recommended for all
audiences. Publishers Weekly
