This is a chilling memoir by the head of Hitler's Foreign Intelligence Service. This unique account of Hitler's corrupt regime illuminates more vividly than any other the deepening atmosphere of terror and unreality in which the Nazi leadership lived as the war progressed. Schellenberg recounts with first-hand knowledge the motivations and machinations surrounding the Nazi Army's every move and offers vivid accounts of the countless incidents in which he played a major part including Heydrich's assassination, plans to kill Roosevelt and Stalin, and an attempt to kidnap the Duke of Windsor. But this remarkable inside account is perhaps most memorable for its riveting portraits of Adolf Hitler, and the men whom Schellenberg calls, with stunning lack of irony, 'Hitler's willing executioners' - Heydrich, Himmler, Mueller, and Kaltenbrunner.
