X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>September 29\, 1913: the steamship Dresden
  is halfway between Belgium and England. On board is one of the most famou
 s men in the world\, Rudolf Diesel\, whose new internal combustion engine 
 is on the verge of revolutionizing global industry forever. But Diesel nev
 er arrives at his destination. He vanishes during the night and headlines 
 around the world wonder if it was an accident\, suicide\, or murder.&nbsp\
 ;</p>\n<p>After rising from an impoverished European childhood\, Diesel ha
 d become a multi-millionaire with his powerful engine that does not requir
 e expensive petroleum-based fuel. In doing so\, he became not only an inte
 rnational celebrity but also the enemy of two extremely powerful men -&nda
 sh\; 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 engi
 ne to power a fleet of submarines that would finally allow him to challeng
 e Great Britain&rsquo\;s Royal Navy. But Diesel had intended for his engin
 e to be used for the betterment of the world.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Brunt reopens
  the case and provides a compelling new conclusion about Diesel&rsquo\;s f
 ate. Register now to see how the mystery unfolds!&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><span sty
