In a devastated Europe at the end of World War II, the improbable relationship between fallen tyrant Hermann Göring and rising US Army physician Douglas Kelley became a hazardous quest into the nature of evil. Göring, former war hero, Hitler confidante, Luftwaffe chief, and Reichsmarschall--had become an obese, paranoid codeine addict suffering from heart disease. The man whose mother said of him, "Hermann will either be a great leader or a great criminal, " was slowly coming to realize that he would be known through history as the latter and would likely be imprisoned for life as a result. His first imprisonment was in the American-run makeshift prison at Mondorf-les-Bains, a castle and spa in bucolic Luxembourg. The psychiatrist given charge of maintaining his mental health--and that of other Nazi prisoners--was Dr. Douglas McGlashan Kelley, an earnest Californian at the end of his three-year army service. This last assignment would bring him face to face with evil beyond his medical skills or his mental capacities.
