This book tells for the first time the full story of the astonishing sequel: since the war ended Strasser the only leading German politician who actively fought Hitler has been arbitrarily banned from his homeland by the American British Canadian French and West German governments. While the first leaders of the Gestapo and the Brownshirts are both active and important again in West Germany Hitler's foremost adversary has been in effect outlawed in a remote Nova Scotian hamlet condemned to struggle with penury.
