The book is based on Riedel's own notes and many tape recorded interviews with the author.
Along with other German Embassy staff, Riedel was forced to return to Germany in 1942, with his American-born wife Helen. He came under suspicion there because of his conviction that Germany would be defeated. He was eventually sent to Sweden as Technical Air Attache there, deserted the German cause and at the end of the war became stateless, with many subsequent unhappy experiences, including some time in a Swedish prison. He escaped secretly by boat to Morocco where he was again arrested by the French and jailed for a year. Escaping again he crossed the Atlantic as a crew member on a small British yacht and managed to gain entry to Venezuela.
Riedel eventually became an American citizen and died in November 1998, in Ardmore, Oklahoma, at the age of 93.
Royalties are shared 50 - 50 with the author and Helen Riedel.
