In his latest work, Antony Beevor--bestselling author of
Stalingrad and The Fall of Berlin 1945 and one of our most
respected historians of World War II--brings us the true,
little-known story of a family torn apart by revolution and war.
Olga Chekhova, a stunning Russian beauty, was the niece of
playwright Anton Chekhov and a famous Nazi-era film actress who was
closely associated with Hitler. After fleeing Bolshevik Moscow for
Berlin in 1920, she was recruited by her composer brother Lev to
become a Soviet spy--a career she spent her entire postwar life
denying. The riveting story of how Olga and her family survived the
Russian Revolution, the rise of Hitler, the Stalinist Terror, and
the Second World War becomes, in Beevor's hands, a breathtaking
tale of survival in a merciless age.
