1899-1941

Presents the memoirs of Walter Krivitsky, who chronicles his involvement with Russia's dangerous OGPU, his role in Stalin's dictatorship, and his defection to America.

A glamorous American multimillionairess, Alice de Janze left her aristocratic French husband for an English lover, and went through a failed murder-suicide. She then left Paris and went to Kenya's Happy Valley in Africa (where many prominent English lived) and became the lover of womanizer Joseph Errol. In 1941, Errol was shot in his car on an isloated road. The crime remains unsolved. What really happened on that fateful evening in an era of unimaginable wealth and indulgence is the subject of this book.
