About the Author

Diana Mosley lives in Paris. She received her first lessons in politics at the feet of Winston Churchill, whose children Randolph and Diana were her best friends. She was married to Bryan Guinness when she fell in love with Oswald Mosley, then a Labour MP who had deserted both the Labour and Tory party and was about to set up his own party, the British Union of Fascists.
