He says: Oh sure, they say they're busy. They say that they didn't have even a moment in their insanely busy day to pick up the phone. It was just that crazy. All lies. With the advent of cell phones & speed dialling, it is almost impossible not to call you. Sometimes I call people from my pants pocket when I don't even mean to. If I were into you, you would be the bright spot in my horribly busy day. Which would be a day that I would never be too busy to call you.

When Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess set off for Britain on a peace mission in May 1941, he launched one of the great mysteries of the Second World War. Had he really acted alone, without Hitler's knowledge? Who were the British he had come to see? Was British intelligence involved? Now, award-winning historian Peter Padfield presents striking new evidence that demands the wholesale reappraisal of the episode, both in terms of what actually happened
- & who knew what
- & its significance in the wider context of the war. For, allied to a powerful argument that Hess must have had both Hitler's backing & considerable encouragement from Britain, Padfield demonstrates that he also brought with him a draft peace treaty committing Hitler to the evacuation of occupied European countries. Made public, this would have destroyed Churchill's campaign to bring the United States into the war. Expertly woven into a compelling narrative that touches on Lord (Victor) Rothschild & the Cambridge spy ring, possible British foreknowledge of Operation Barbarossa & the 'final solution', MI6's use of Hess to prevent the bombing of London & the mysterious circumstances of his death in Spandau prison
- including the previously unseen witness accounts from that day
- Hess, Hitler & Churchill is among the most important history books of recent years.
