LOS DIARIOS DE UN FASCISTA Y ARISTÓCRATA ITALIANO Y LA ODISEA DE TRES MUJERES PARA SALVARLOS DE LA GESTAPO.

En 1944 se hicieron públicos los diarios secretos de Galeazzo Ciano, ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Italia, en los que registraba los crímenes y planes nazis de los que se enteraba en sus reuniones con ellos. Pero poco se sabe que tres mujeres arriesgaron sus vidas para que estos llegaran a los Aliados, quienes luego los usarían como evidencia contra los nazis en los juicios de Núremberg. Cuando Galeazzo fue apresado, Edda Mussolini les dio a Hitler y a su padre un ultimátum: liberar a su esposo o correr el riesgo de que filtrara los diarios a la prensa.

Hitler y Mussolini los buscaron en vano durante meses. Posteriormente, Hilde Beetz, espía alemana cuya misión era seducir a Galeazzo para encontrar sus escritos, fue a su vez seducida por aquel y unió fuerzas con Edda. Una tercera mujer se sumó a este increíble entramado --Frances de Chollet, espía casi accidental y esposa de un banquero estadounidense-- cuando Edda huyó a Suiza con la ayuda de Hilde, después de que Galeazzo fuera ejecutado. Frances fue el último eslabón para hacer llegar los diarios a los estadounidenses y cumplir así el deseo de Galeazzo.

A partir de una minuciosa investigación, Tilar J. Mazzeo nos muestra este momento histórico poco conocido, para hacernos ver que sin la participación de Edda, Hilde y Frances, uno de los documentos más importantes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y que fue fundamental en los juicios de Núremberg sería, quizá, desconocido.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In a tale as twisted as any spy thriller, discover how three women delivered critical evidence of Axis war crimes to Allied forces during World War II: "A tantalizingly novelistic history lesson" (Kirkus).

In 1944, news of secret diaries kept by Italy's Foreign Minister, Galeazzo Ciano, had permeated public consciousness. What wasn't reported, however, was how three women--a Fascist's daughter, a German spy, and an American banker's wife--risked their lives to ensure the diaries would reach the Allies, who would later use them as evidence against the Nazis at Nuremberg.

In 1944, Benito Mussolini's daughter, Edda, gave Hitler and her father an ultimatum: release her husband, Galeazzo Ciano, from prison, or risk her leaking her husband's journals to the press. To avoid the peril of exposing Nazi lies, Hitler and Mussolini hunted for the diaries for months, determined to destroy them.

Hilde Beetz, a German spy, was deployed to seduce Ciano to learn the diaries' location and take them from Edda. As the seducer became the seduced, Hilde converted as a double agent, joining forces with Edda to save Ciano from execution. When this failed, Edda fled to Switzerland with Hilde's daring assistance to keep Ciano's final wish: to see the diaries published for use by the Allies. When American spymaster Allen Dulles learned of Edda's escape, he sent in Frances De Chollet, an "accidental" spy, telling her to find Edda, gain her trust, and, crucially, hand the diaries over to the Americans. Together, they succeeded in preserving one of the most important documents of WWII.

Drawing from in-depth research and first-person interviews with people who witnessed these events, Mazzeo gives readers a riveting look into this little-known moment in history and shows how, without Edda, Hilde, and Frances's involvement, certain convictions at Nuremberg would never have been possible.

Heavy duty, excellent quality
Size: Small, Color: Textured Ring, Size: Small, Color: Textured Ring
I trust the Nylabone brand and would not buy a cheap substitute to save a few bucks. This ring is heavy duty. I got it for our 9-week-old puppy and it keeps her interested and entertained with all the little nubs. She uses it more as a toy than something to chew on, tossing it around and mouthing it. It's very hard so I'm not worried about her being able to chew off any little pieces at this point. This satisfies her for now and helps to keep her busy and reigns in some of her puppy energy. Recommend!

Strong
Size: Small, Color: Textured Ring
My French Bulldogs have really strong jaws and are aggressive chewers. These really are sturdy and last a good amount of time. I replace every couple of months and they are one of my dogs favorites and easy for them to hold onto.

Durable Chew Toy That Actually Holds Up to Strong Jaws
Size: Large, Color: Bundle
This is a reliable option for a heavy chewer, especially for a large breed with a strong bite. The material feels tough and well-made, and it stands up well to consistent chewing without immediately breaking down like softer toys tend to do. It also gives a bit of dental benefit by helping reduce plaque and tartar buildup during play, which is a nice bonus since brushing isn’t always realistic. The textured surface keeps it interesting enough to hold attention for a while, and it doesn’t splinter or create a mess. Overall, it’s a solid, durable chew toy that works well for strong chewers who tend to destroy most standard toys quickly.
