Description

Coco Chanel's wartime collaboration with the Nazis has long been shrouded in mystery, but Hal Vaughan's explosive narrative reveals the shocking truth behind her high-stakes affair with a master spy and her work for the German military intelligence service. From 1941 to 1954, Chanel's life was marked by a complex web of espionage, romance, and deception. Vaughan pieces together the story of how Chanel became a Nazi agent, how she escaped arrest after the war, and how she was able to return to Paris and rebuild the iconic House of Chanel. This book offers a fresh perspective on one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures of the 20th century, and provides a gripping account of Chanel's secret war.
