Playing Rudolf Hess
An imposter story
A fascinating story about one of the greatest mysteries of WWII (Cinegrafica / Booklocker 2016) Makes history come alive like a thriller.
Perhaps I'm a history fan - and definitely a lover of intelligent thrillers - so "Playing Rudolf Hess" captures both my likes. What's best is that it is a very enjoyable read, one that gets you inside the story/history without bogging down as many such books do. Instead, you are caught up in the drama that was real-life life or death for Britain, with author Nicholas Kinsey intelligently filling-in those gaps where only some speculation can find room (since the historical records have kept so much of it in the dark).

Must read, forgotten WWII story:
"An interesting read about an amazing, largely forgotten story of World War II. Hard to believe the story isn't more well known. Worth the purchase!"
