The Mitford girls included Diana (who married the British fascist leader Oswald Mosley), Unity (who was close to Adolf Hitler) and Debo (who became the Duchess of Devonshire). Decca shocked them all when she joined the American Communist Party. Her letters are the stories of a century: gossip and politics, war and the poignancy of personal struggles. They are also a record of her never-ending quest for social justice. This is a fascinating collection that reveals to us intimately the most ebullient Mitford of them all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'C\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eaptures history's most charming muckraker, from her friendships with Katharine Graham and Maya Angelou to her devotion to civil rights' \u003c\/b\u003eVOGUE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Jessica Mitford is a sister of mine.
