Quick Overview
The remarkable exploits of Otto Skorzeny whose wartime appointment was mainly chance but whose skill was not. Convinced that the secret weapon is Man, he pitted the individual mind against the well-trained soldier mass-mind to achieve such improbable feats as rescuing Mussolini from an embattled mountain-resort prison -- by glider -- and kidnapping the uncooperative Horthy from Hungary in a carpet.
He was Hitler's favorite commando - and a frightening menace to the Allied forces. With a handful of German Special Troops, Otto Skorzeny performed the impossible by snatching Mussolini from an "impenetrable" mountain. He astounded the world and gave a brilliant demonstration of the new warfare, which extends beyond the lines of battle beyond the lines of battle beyond even the "rules of war".
Here is the inside story of the abduction of Horthy from Budapest, the "disguised brigade" behind American lines in the Ardennes, the destruction of the Nymegan bridge, and the incredible rescue of the "doomed" German division in the Balkans. Here is the complete and astounding saga of Skorzeny, the greatest adventurer of World War II.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
