1943: The tide of the War has turned against Hitler. Mussolini is deposed, imprisoned, and hidden. A single commando leads gliders to the top of the highest peak in the Apennines to rescue the Duce. October 1944: Hungary's Admiral Horthy is about to defect to the Soviets. Hitler's man kidnaps Horthy's son, and advises him it's time to "retire" if he ever wants to see his son again. December 1944: The Battle of the Bulge. Hitler's favorite soldier, using 2,000 stolen American Army uniforms, leads a group of English-speaking Germans behind enemy lines and wreaks havoc throughout the front. That same man helps former SS members get to South America; becomes Juan Peron's security chief and Eva Peron's secret lover; trains Arab forces and Yasser Arafat for the next Israeli war; sells arms to both sides of wars throughout Africa; and ultimately, as a Mossad agent, "takes out" the very group of nuclear scientists Egypt recruited to destroy Israel The same man, Otto Skorzeny, did all these things and more. Unrepentant Nazi, this ultimate predator, the most dangerous man in the world, lived more lives than a dozen James Bonds. International best-selling author Hugo N. Gerstl, brings the life of this amazing hero/villain, now almost forgotten, back onto the world's stage where, during the time he lived, he made the world a much more exciting - and scary - place.
