Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Bad Son, like A 'Swiss Summer', unfolds as a historical novel. A novel-because it offers interpretation to the unknowns of human relationships. It portrays a Reich entering its stage of decomposition, a silent resistance, and a singular man orbiting at the heart of power.As strange as it may seem, the central role of Walter Schellenberg allows the story, through both his official position and his complex personality, to navigate freely through the uppermost corridors of the Third Reich's machinery.In 1943, as the cracks in Hitler's empire widen, Walter Schellenberg - head of foreign intelligence at the RSHA's AMT VI Ausland - walks a deadly line between circumstantial loyalty and the will to steer the regime toward ending the war. He shares little with his superiors, yet works alongside them while secretly building upon the conspiracy begun in the spring of 1942, of which he remains the architect. A delicate and treacherous web to weave in the face of accelerating events. One misstep would mean his end. As the Reichsfuehrer's trusted man, he is also handed an investigation - one that, likewise, could end his life with the slightest error. Set within the real events of the Second World War, The Bad Son blends espionage, diplomacy, and psychological drama to explore the cost of clarity - and the danger of action taken too late. It reveals a hidden war, waged as much by secrets, ambitions, and shadowy alliances as by weapons.Part of a four-volume saga, The Bad Son spans the period from April 1942 to June 1945, tracing week by week the key moments of the conflict: Stalingrad, Kursk, the landings in Sicily, the fall of Mussolini, cities reduced to rubble. Historical figures appear as they were - in their roles, shaped by the conscience of their time. Conspiracies, negotiations, and secret rivalries among German, Allied, and neutral intelligence services are depicted without evasion, placing the heads of intelligence services at the story's center. Through this lens, the novel invites readers to reconsider what resistance can look like at the heart of a regime built on terror - and whether a man inside the machine can truly alter its course.All the major historical twists, including lesser-known and surprising ones, are preserved. Fiction intervenes only to explore the human dimension - and offer one plausible answer to questions history has left unresolved. More than ever, conspiracy appears as the only remaining path to overthrow a dictatorship.The Bad Son will continue to follow the investigation into a now-legendary plot.All historical developments, including lesser-known and surprising ones, are faithfully preserved. The novel intervenes to restore the human dimension and suggest plausible answers to certain unresolved mysteries. Every character appears with the rank and role they held at the time of the events.The complexity of this era is often overlooked in favor of schematic views and oversimplifications. While the novel does not claim to offer a perfectly accurate account of events, it seeks to encourage readers to explore the hidden dimensions of that time in greater depth.Now more than ever, conspiracy remains the only means of bringing down a dictatorship.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A Swiss Summer will also trace an investigation into a historical intrigue, with various conspiracies and peace attempts tangled in the rivalry of intelligence services.The characters are real, with the roles and ranks they held at the time of their appearance. The thoughts and dialogues reflect the knowledge of the day they were spoken. Historical events are followed with precision.The novel highlights the dangerous game between various allied, neutral, and German intelligence services, as well as the opportunism and cynicism shown by each. As strange as it may seem, the central role played by Walter Schellenberg, head of the foreign intelligence department at the RSHA, allows, through his function and personality, to move freely within the highest levels of the Nazi regime's machinery.Each novel has a central pivot, and A Swiss Summer revolves around the Battle of Stalingrad. This first part, like the others, provides numerous occasions to travel back in time, to the end of World War I, and to the politics of the era, offering glimpses of the construction of the Third Reich through references to real or widely accepted episodes.A Swiss Summer will also have as a backdrop an investigation into a historical intrigue, that of the atomic bomb.All the historical events, including the lesser-known and surprising ones, are preserved. The novel offers a human dimension and provides a potential answer to some unknowns. All the characters appear in their function and rank at the time of the story.The complexity of this era is often overlooked by simplistic views. While the narrative does not seek to provide a perfectly faithful image of the events, it aims to encourage the reader to dive deeper into the facets that are most often hidden.Set against the backdrop of the Battle of Stalingrad, the novel weaves together real historical figures-portrayed with the roles and ranks they held at the time-with events that are strictly grounded in historical fact. Thoughts and dialogue are faithfully anchored in the knowledge and beliefs those individuals could have held at that precise moment.Behind the visible conflict lies a double narrative: on one side, the race for the atomic bomb and its immense stakes; on the other, the clandestine attempts at peace and the tangled web of conspiracies between rival intelligence services. Every character moves through a world driven by ambition, opportunism, and cold calculation-true to the spirit of the times.At the heart of the novel is Walter Schellenberg, chief of foreign intelligence at the RSHA (Amt VI Ausland), who offers a rare perspective from the highest echelons of the Nazi regime. As early as 1942, many among the German elite began to realize the war was already lost. Some joined the path that would eventually lead to the July 20, 1944, assassination attempt against Hitler. Others-or sometimes the same individuals-sought a separate peace with the West.The novel explores the dangerous dance between German, Allied, and neutral intelligence services, exposing the power struggles, political intrigue, and fragile humanity beneath the surface. It also travels back in time-through the collapse of the German Empire, the interwar years, and the rise of National Socialism-to shed light on how the machinery of the Third Reich came to be.The book retains the depth of little-known yet gripping historical episodes and breathes life into them through a plausible, human lens. Far from offering a simplified account, it challenges the reader to grasp the full complexity of the era-and to redis-cover truths that history has tried to forget.In the face of dictatorship, conspiracy is the only path left to freedom.
