The fiftieth anniversary of Coco Chanel’s death is the appropriate occasion for publishing this volume which cannot simply be glossed over as yet another publication about the fashion designer. Unprecedentedly, it retraces Coco Chanel’s personal account of “her war” during the Occupation. Entitled Coco Chanel, the freedom-loving woman who defied the tyrants of her day, the book was hailed as an “unparalleled, ground-breaking work” by Gabrielle Palasse-Labrunie, Chanel’s great-niece.

To be published shortly under the imprint of Cohen & Cohen
