Sleeping With The Enemy : Coco Chanel's Secret War
by Hal Vaughan

Here we go again with a book that is purported to be better than what was written before and yet is much less. I couldn't wait to get it and then, I couldn't wait to finish the damn thing.
Author, Hal Vaughan, writes about Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's collaboration with the Nazis during World War II. His writing is plodding and interminably boring. There's so much dense detail with much of it repeated again and again. Not much of what Chanel exactly did for the SS is actually revealed so you don't really learn anything about her treachery.
There are better works written about Coco Chanel one of which I reviewed in my book-a-holics blog.
Sleeping With the Enemy was a big disappointment.
Not recommended.
