Join us as we chat with New York Times bestselling author Douglas Brunt about The Mysterious Case of Rudolph Diesel: Genius, Power, and Deception on the Eve of World War I.

Discover the hidden history of Rudolf Diesel, one of the world’s greatest inventors, and his mysterious disappearance on the eve of World War I. On September 29, 1913, the steamship Dresden was halfway between Belgium and England. On board was one of the most famous men in the world, Rudolf Diesel, whose new internal combustion engine was on the verge of revolutionizing global industry forever. But Diesel never arrived at his destination. He vanished during the night and headlines around the world wondered if it was an accident, suicide, or murder. Douglas Brunt reopens this case and provides a compelling new conclusion about Diesel’s fate. Find out how the mystery unfolds!
