We are proud to be partnering with the Proms At St Jude's Litfest as their offical bookseller. Join us for a weekend of fantastic author talks and discussions.

In his book, Philps shows how Stalin created his own reality by silencing foreign reporters during WWII and forcing them to reproduce Kremlin propaganda. In the gilded cage of the Metropol Hotel, foreign war correspondents enjoyed lavish supplies of caviar and young women to employ as translators - and to share their beds. Some of these women were brave dissenters whispering the reality of Soviet life to reporters and were punished. This story lifts the lid on Stalin’s operation to control what the western allies’ reporters knew of his regimes policies.

Alan Philps will be in conversation with Michael Binyon.
