The Life and Times of Jessica Mitford
Lisa BrodyPostscript summary
Admirers and detractors use the same words to describe Jessica ‘Decca’ Mitford: subversive, muckraker, mischief-maker. Born into an aristocratic family, she eloped at 19 with Winston Churchill’s nephew. While her sisters Unity and Diana were drawn to fascism, Decca became a communist, civil-rights activist and investigative journalist in the United States. Full of incident and anecdote, this biography recounts a remarkable life lived at the epicentre of the major events of 20th-century history.
