A Note from the Author This book turns on secrets. One secret is buried in the deep, dark forest of Katyn, Poland.
The other in the pages of a notebook kept in a modest café in Lwow, an ancient Polish city. The principal contributors to the Scottish Book, as the notebook was called, were professors and several pure mathematicians from the nearby university. While the mathematicians' musings were dismissed by some as esoteric scribblings, when the Nazis overran Poland in 1939 the Book mysteriously vanished from its hiding place in the café. Some of its authors vanished too, fleeing to America to avoid certain death. With their freedom came recruitment for the Manhattan Project.
Also very real are little-known places like Bad Nenndorf, the British interrogation center for hardcore Nazis before they were sent to Ashcan, the manor house near London for a three-dimensional and certainly more aggressive debriefing; Wünsdorf, the principal oversight warren for the Wehrmacht OKW during World War Two and the victorious Soviet Occupation forces in the Cold War Era; and the Hill of Goats located in the chilling forest of lost souls―a place called Katyn. A thought, then, to keep uppermost in your mind as you read this story. If the Scottish Book was of little importance then why, as a ruthless world war reached its ugly end, did the NKVD, Gestapo and yes, even the Allies, desperately seek to find and secure its contents? Why has its existence not factored into the telling of Second World War history? After years of in-depth research, I believe I have discovered an extremely plausible look into what might have been and, in all probability, one of the last great secrets of the Second World War.
