A history of historians that demonstrates how the telling of history is inevitably influenced by the life and beliefs of the storyteller - 'Grave and witty, suave yet pointed - erudite yet engaging and full of energy' Hilary Mantel
The never-before-told story of a small cadre of influential female spies in the precarious early days of the CIA - women who helped create the template for cutting-edge espionage (and blazed new paths for equality in the workplace).
A 13-year-old Red Guard revels in the great adventure, and struggles with her doubts. Yet official suppression and personal trauma have conspired in national amnesia: it exists, for the most part, as an absence. Red Memory explores the stories of those who are driven to confront the era, fearing or yearning its return.
