Sisters in resistance

The true story of how three women — a fascist’s daughter, a German spy, and an American socialite — went against Hitler’s SS to get key evidence into the hands of the Allies. In 1943, Edda Mussolini, daughter of the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, gave her father and Hitler an extraordinary ultimatum: release her husband, Italy’s former foreign minister, Galeazzo Ciano, from prison, or risk her leaking her husband’s diaries to the press. The story of three women, each faced with unbearable pressures and weighty moral questions, whose lives were drawn together in one of the most unlikely rescues of World War II.
