Decca: The Letters of Jessica Mitford

Of all the Mitford sisters, Jessica - known to her friends as Decca - was the most radical, a Communist Party member and passionate supporter of civil rights. She was also, as this volume demonstrates, a prolific, witty and entertaining letter writer, whose address book read like an international Whos Who, from Guy Burgess and Martin Luther King to Hillary Clinton and Liberace. Peter Y Sussmans introduction, essays and notes provide fascinating biographical and historical context.
