Reviews
"Compelling . . . a tangled web of deceit, corruption, betrayal, courage, and family intrigue. It reads like a spy thriller, moving at a fast pace, and even though the reader knows the successful outcome, the suspense never lets up."-- Wall Street Journal, "Mazzeo chronicles a ray of hope in desperate times in this compelling biography of a brave woman who refused to give up."-- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for Irena's Children, "Intelligent and compelling, Mazzeo's probing book delves intriguingly into the 'moral thicket' into which a group of strangers found themselves plunged during the long, dark days of World War II. A tantalizingly novelistic history lesson."-- Kirkus

Synopsis
In 1944, news of secret diaries kept by Italy's foreign minister, Galeazzo Ciano, permeated public consciousness. What wasn't reported was how three women had risked their lives to ensure the diaries would fall into the hands of the Allies, who would later use them as evidence against the Nazis at Nuremberg. The dictator's daughter, Benito Mussolini's daughter, Edda, gave Hitler and her father an ultimatum: release her husband, Galeazzo, from prison, or risk her leaking his journals-which would expose Nazi lies-to the press. The German spy. Hilde Beetz was deployed by the German government to seduce Ciano to learn the diaries' location-but the seducer became the seduced. Turning into a double agent, she joined forces with Edda to save Ciano from execution. When this failed, Edda fled to Switzerland with Hilde's daring assistance, determined to keep Ciano's final wish: to get the diaries safely to the Allies. The banker's wife. When American spymaster Allen Dulles learned of Edda's escape, he sent in Frances de Chollet, an "accidental" spy, and told her to find Edda, gain her trust, and, crucially, hand the diaries over to the Americans. Drawing from in-depth research and first-person interviews, Mazzeo gives readers a riveting look into this little-known moment in history, when three formidable women rescued some of the most important documents of WWII., In a tale as twisted as any spy thriller, discover how three women delivered critical evidence of Axis war crimes to Allied forces during World War II: "A tantalizingly novelistic history lesson" ( Kirkus ). In 1944, news of secret diaries kept by Italy's Foreign Minister, Galeazzo Ciano, had permeated public consciousness. What wasn't reported, however, was how three women--a Fascist's daughter, a German spy, and an American banker's wife--risked their lives to ensure the diaries would reach the Allies, who would later use them as evidence against the Nazis at Nuremberg. In 1944, Benito Mussolini's daughter, Edda, gave Hitler and her father an ultimatum: release her husband, Galeazzo Ciano, from prison, or risk her leaking her husband's journals to the press. To avoid the peril of exposing Nazi lies, Hitler and Mussolini hunted for the diaries for months, determined to destroy them. Hilde Beetz, a German spy, was deployed to seduce Ciano to learn the diaries' location and take them from Edda. As the seducer became the seduced, Hilde converted as a double agent, joining forces with Edda to save Ciano from execution. When this failed, Edda fled to Switzerland with Hilde's daring assistance to keep Ciano's final wish: to see the diaries published for use by the Allies. When American spymaster Allen Dulles learned of Edda's escape, he sent in Frances De Chollet, an "accidental" spy, telling her to find Edda, gain her trust, and, crucially, hand the diaries over to the Americans. Together, they succeeded in preserving one of the most important documents of WWII. Drawing from indepth research and first-person interviews with people who witnessed these events, Mazzeo gives readers a riveting look into this littleknown moment in history and shows how, without Edda, Hilde, and Frances's involvement, certain convictions at Nuremberg would never have been possible. Includes a Reading Group Guide.

    Great book for a great price. Shipped quickly, but only packed in a poly bag, so the book suffered some mild corner damage in shipping. Aside from that, the book matched the description of its condition and I’m happy overall. Great seller!

    AAAA++++ SELLER!!!! Book was shipped very quickly and item price was also good. My only complaint is the shipping packaging. This book came loosely placed in a plastic bag so I can't tell if the damage to the dust jacket happened in shipping or it was already in that condition. But, as I already stated, the overall price was good so I shouldn't really complain. Overall, I've had positive experience with hpb-ruby so I'd still definitely recommend buying from them.
