25 years after her passing, Audrey Hepburn remains the most beloved
of all Hollywood stars. Several biographies have chronicled her
stardom, but none has covered her intense experiences through five
years of Nazi occupation in the Netherlands. According to her son,
'The war made my mother who she was.' Audrey Hepburn's war included
participation in the Dutch Resistance, working as a doctor's
assistant during the 'Bridge Too Far' battle of Arnhem, the brutal
execution of her uncle, and the ordeal of the Hunger Winter of
1944. She also had to contend with the fact that her father was a
Nazi agent and her mother was pro-Nazi for the first two years of
the occupation. Audrey's own reminiscences, new interviews with
people who knew her in the war, wartime diaries, and research in
classified Dutch archives shed light on the riveting, untold story
of Audrey Hepburn under fire in World War II.
