The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel by Douglas Brunt Book Summary

This instant New York Times bestselling “dynamic detective story” (The New York Times) reveals the hidden history Rudolf Diesel, one of the world’s greatest inventors, and his mysterious disappearance on the eve of World War I.

September 29, 1913: the steamship Dresden is halfway between Belgium and England. On board is one of the most famous men in the world, Rudolf Diesel, whose new internal combustion engine is on the verge of revolutionizing global industry forever. But Diesel never arrives at his destination. He vanishes during the night and headlines around the world wonder if it was an accident, suicide, or murder.

After rising from an impoverished European childhood, Diesel had become a multi-millionaire with his powerful engine that does not require expensive petroleum-based fuel. In doing so, he became not only an international celebrity but also the enemy of two extremely powerful men: Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil and the richest man in the world.

The Kaiser wanted the engine to power a fleet of submarines that would finally allow him to challenge Great Britain’s Royal Navy. But Diesel had intended for his engine to be used for the betterment of the world.

Now, New York Times bestselling author Douglas Brunt reopens the case and provides an “absolutely riveting” (Chris Bohjalian, #1 New York Times bestselling author) new conclusion about Diesel’s fate. Brunt’s book is “equal parts Walter Isaacson and Sherlock Holmes, [and] yanks back the curtain on the greatest caper of the 20th century in this riveting history” (Jay Winik, New York Times bestselling author).

Historical Mystery. An Excellent portrait of the life and times during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s in Europe, Russia, and the USA as told through the life of the man who changed the world. Although the main story revolves around the life of Rudolph Diesel and the eventual invention of the Diesel engine, the side stories about Rockefeller, Kaiser Wilhelm, Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill, World War I ,and many others color a unique portrait of the era of invention and war. Painstakingly researched and documented. A must read for history buffs and/or murder mystery aficionados.

Compelling hypothesis 🤔. Hindsight is 20/20. A very enjoyable read with a most satisfying ending.

Historical Page Turner. Fascinating read, walking through the history of a pivotal time, and rooting for Diesel to succeed. Mr. Brunt must’ve done a TON of research, and his theory near the end breaks new ground with a surprise ending to the story. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic read. I enjoyed this so much I couldn’t put it down. Terrific writer, and terrific story.

One of the best books I have read. I love history, and machines, and this, by far, is the best of both.
