American reporters covering the Eastern front during the war. Using British archives and
Russian sources  this revelatory story details the vital role played by the women of the
Metropol Hotel and the foreign reporters they worked with  telling their story for the first
time. 'Philps' book vindicates the value of truth' - Washington Post 'Engaging and insightful'
