SS-Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny became a legend in his own time. "Hitler's favorite commando" acquired a reputation as a man of daring, renowned for his audacious 1943 mission to extricate Mussolini from a mountain-top prison. He could be brave and resourceful, but was also a notorious egoist and an unrepentant Nazi until the end of his life.
Stuart Smith draws on years of in-depth research to uncover the truth about Skorzeny's career and complex personality. From his background as a student radical in Vienna to his bloody service with the Waffen-SS on the Eastern Front, his surprise rebirth as a commando, and his intriguing post-war career and mysterious fortune, this book tells Otto Skorzeny's story in full-warts and all-for the first time.

Bogen giver et detaljeret og formodentlig også nuanceret portræt af hovedpersonen. I det afsluttende efterord beskrives det kort, at Waffen-SS stillede personel til rådighed for de Sonderkomandoer der forestod udryddelse af tusinder på østfronten uden at nævne de utallige krigsforbrydelser Waffen-SS enheder begik på egen hånd, enten efter ordre eller blot improviseret. I en bog af så ny dato er det kritisabelt og undergraver bogens generelle troværdighed.
