Reviews
Philps's book vindicates the value of truth, most of all by depicting the lengths that a rare few will go to share it. Yet Philps is also clear-eyed enough to show that truth will not always come out -- at least, not easily, and not without cost., 'The truth was the first casualty' in Alan Philps's The Red Hotel , a disturbing expose of Stalin's ruthless control of the media narrative during WWII. At center stage is the harrowing plight of female translators at the Metropol, forced to perpetuate a Soviet disinformation campaign. A timely and sobering reminder of how the absence of a free press can forever change the course of history., An unsettling account of how a cadre of foreign correspondents in Moscow during World War II were pressed to acquiesce to the Kremlin's censorship. Philps's thoughtful narrative puts their work into the appropriate historical context. An authoritative history of the terrible ramifications of the silence about Stalin's lies., Ostensibly the story of the Allied reporters based during World War II in the Metropol Hotel in Moscow, the real heroes of the book are the female translators who at great personal risk sought to tell the truth about Stalin. A timely reminder of Russia's ambitions and desire to shape the historical narrative., An unsettling account of how a cadre of foreign correspondents in Moscow during World War II were pressed to acquiesce to the Kremlin's censorship. Philp's thoughtful narrative puts their work into the appropriate historical context. An authoritative history of the terrible ramifications of the silence about Stalin's lies., Alan Philips has given readers a true gem. The Red Hotel is by turns harrowing and heart breaking, heroic and squalid, arousing and soul-destroying, epic and claustrophobic. There are a myriad of books of Russia's war time experience, perhaps the most profound episode in the history of the modern west, but The Red Hotel stands out among them for its humanity, scholarship, and brilliant, captivating prose., In The Red Hotel , Mr. Philps conveys Nadya Ulanovskaya's story in stirring detail, both her improbable adventures before World War II and the ordeals she experienced in the Gulag. Stalin's tight control of what could be reported--whether from the Metropol or elsewhere--didn't fool everyone., The best histories set in Russia during World War II call to our sensual appreciation of tangible tastes and sensations--lavish wealth with a dark river running through it; passionate courage on the part of the subjugated and impoverished. Alan Philps, veteran Moscow correspondent, skillfully delivers this chilling tale cloaked in a mood steeped in velvet luxury and fitted with a poison lining., The Red Hotel is a vivid, intimate, and engaging account of foreign journalists confined to Moscow's Metropole Hotel by Stalin during World War II--and their relations with young women translators sent by the Soviets to spy on and assist them. Philps's fascinating narrative details the brutal suffering of innocent Russians in Stalin's Gulag and evokes dark parallels between Stalin and Putin in their obsession with controlling the flow of information at home.

Synopsis
The untold history of Moscow's Metropol hotel--a fervent spot of intrigue, secrets, and the center of Stalin's nefarious propaganda during WWII. *A Washington Post Best Book of the Year* In 1941, when German armies were marching towards Moscow, Lenin's body was moved from his tomb on Red Square and taken to Siberia. By 1945, a victorious Stalin had turned a poor country into a victorious superpower. Over the course of those four years, Stalin, at Churchill's insistence, accepted an Anglo-American press corps in Moscow to cover the Eastern Front. To turn these reporters into Kremlin mouthpieces, Stalin imposed the most draconian controls - unbending censorship, no visits to the battle front, and a ban on contact with ordinary citizens. The Red Hotel explores this gilded cage of the Metropol Hotel. They enjoyed lavish supplies of caviar and had their choice of young women to employ as translators and share their beds. On the surface, this regime served Stalin well: his plans to control Eastern Europe as a Sovietised 'outer empire' were never reported and the most outrageous Soviet lies went unchallenged. But beneath the surface the Metropol was roiling with intrigue. While some of the translators turned journalists into robotic conveyors of Kremlin propaganda, others were secret dissidents who whispered to reporters the reality of Soviet life and were punished with sentences in the Gulag. Using British archives and Soviet sources, the unique role of the women of the Metropol, both as consummate propagandists and secret dissenters, is told for the first time. At the end of the war when Lenin returned to Red Square, the reporters went home, but the memory of Stalin's ruthless control of the wartime narrative lived on in the Kremlin. From the weaponization of disinformation to the falsification of history, from the moving of borders to the neutralisation of independent states, the story of the Metropol mirrors the struggles of our own modern era.
