"SS Assault Regiment Wotan was training and recuperating after its grueling struggle in Russia. None of those men straining up the glassy slope under the eyes of their commander, Colonel Horst Geier, guessed that already they had been singled out for a new mission ... German High Command knew that the British would launch an attack on Dieppe, and had realised that there was only one regiment that could be trusted to halt them in time and defend the vital coastal battery: the soldiers of Wotan." -- Back cover

In the grey September of 1944, colonel von Dodenburg's SS battle group Wotan became the Fuhrer's Fire Brigade, the crack unit of the German Wehrmacht, to be thrown into any battle as a last desperate measure to redress the balance. As the Allied armies closed in on Germany's holy city of Aachen, even the most optimistic said that Hitler's war was lost. Only Colonel von Dodenburg's black uniformed troopers, with their dreaded silver death's head badge, were convinced that they could still save the day.

From notorious cases of gang violence and repeated domestic abuse, to a twelve year old boy who set fire to his classmate's face, Harding reckons daily with humankind's unspeakable capacity for sadistic violence.Yet it is the humanity of these perpetrators that is the most shocking - how, with the wrong push at the wrong time, so many people are mere inches away from similar brutality.
