If Adolf Hitler had a favorite soldier, it was Otto Skorzeny, Germany's top commando in World War II. When Mussolini was imprisoned in Italy in 1943, it was Skorzeny who successfully led the daring glider rescue, and in the Ardennes offensive he devised a controversial plan to raise a brigade disguised as Americans with captured Sherman tanks. Dubbed "the most dangerous man in Europe" by the Allies, Skorzeny tells his own story in this 1957 memoir, reflecting on an extraordinary wartime career of nonstop risk and adventure.
