John Burnham Schwartz's THE RED DAUGHTER is a sweeping historical novel and unexpected love story is inspired by the remarkable life of Svetlana Alliluyeva.
In one of the most momentous events of the Cold War, Svetlana Alliluyeva, the only daughter of the Soviet despot Joseph Stalin, abruptly abandoned her life in Moscow in 1967, arriving in New York to throngs of reporters and a nation hungry to hear her story. By her side is Peter Horvath, a young lawyer sent by the CIA to smuggle Svetlana into America.
