From 1941 to 1954 Coco Chanel's life was shrouded in rumour. Sleeping with the Enemy tells in detail how she went from being high priestess of couture to German intelligence operative, how she was enlisted in spy missions and why she evaded arrest in France after the war. It reveals the role played by Winston Churchill in her escape from retribution; and how, after a nine-year exile in Switzerland, Coco was able to return to Paris, reinvent herself and rebuild the House of Chanel.
