First US Edition; Med. 8vo; pp. xx, 279; (2); text illustrated with numerous b/w. photographs, notes, bibliography, index, bound in original grey cloth, title lettered in black on spine, dustjacket, fine copy. The book pieces together how Coco Chanel became a German intelligence operative; how and why she was enlisted in a number of spy missions; how she escaped arrest in France after the war, despite her activities being known to the gaullist intelligence network; how she fled to Switzerland for a nine-year exile with her lover Dincklage. And how, despite the French court's opening a case concerning Chanel's espionage activities during the war, she was able to return to Paris at age seventy and triumphantly resurrect and reinvent herself- and rebuild what has become the iconic House of Chanel.
