Did he act independently or with others? Was he genuinely deranged or, as his captors later thought, only shamming? Why did he choose to approach the Duke of Hamilton? The link between Hitler's Deputy and the Duke of Hamilton was a member of the German Foreign Office called Albrecht Haushofer, an early exponent of Lebensraum who was Hess's old teacher at Munich University in the early 1920s."--Book jacket.
