Now, for the first time, her true legacy is revealed. With a wealth of fresh research, Sonia Purnell sheds light on the remarkable story of how Harriman left an indelible mark on the world. From her early days as a "secret weapon" during World War II, to her influential role in shaping twentieth-century politics, culture, and fashion, Harriman's impact was felt by practically everyone. This is a story of seduction, diplomacy, and the behind-the-scenes machinations that shaped the course of history.
