Paperback with slightly marked covers. Hess's flight to Britain has remained one of the most mysterious chapters in the history of the Second World War and has created a multitude of conspiracy theories. Some have claimed that Hess's mission was engineered by MI5; others that Hitler's deputy had died in a plane crash while flying with the Duke of Kent in 1942 and that a double went to trial in Nuremberg; and Hess's son believes that he was killed in 1987 by the British Secret Service. In Flight from Reality David Stafford has assembled an international team of experts on this episode. The result is the definitive account of Hess's mission that sheds new light on its significance in the history of the Second World War.

This fascinating book explores British Imperial unity at the outbreak of the Second World War. In September 1939, four of the five dominions took the decision to support Neville Chamberlain's government and declare war on Nazi Germany. Entering the fray as 'self-autonomous' they finished it as fledgling states whose long-held ties with the Mother Country were now uncertain. Using government records, private correspondence and contemporary media sources, the book examines the relationship between Britain and the Dominions during the Second World War.

Yet the work went on, thwarting German control and even forcing the Nazis to change some of their policies. Writers and publishers too refused to be silenced, and many found lasting fame through clandestine books.
