Rarely has there been a more powerful account of the 20th century's horrors.\" --Rosemary Sullivan, author of \u003ci\u003eStalin's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe masterful narration of a daughter's decades-long quest to understand her extraordinary mother, who was born in Lenin's Soviet Union, served as a combat soldier in the Red Army, and endured three years of Nazi captivity--but never revealed her darkest secrets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a child, Roxana Spicer would sometimes wake to the sound of the Red Army choir. She would tip-toe downstairs to find her mother, cigarette in one hand and Black Russian in the other, singing along. Roxana would keep her company, and wonder.... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEveryone in their village knew Agnes Spicer was Russian, that she had been a captive of the Nazis. And that was all they knew, because Agnes kept her secrets close: how she managed to escape Germany, what the tattoo on her arm meant, even her real name. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDiscovering the truth about her beloved, charismatic, volatile mother became Roxana's obsession. Throughout her career as a journalist and documentarian, she took every chance to visit the few places that she knew played a role in her mother's story: Bad Salzuflen, Germany; notorious concentration camps; and Russia. Under Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and the early years of Putin, she was able to find people, places, and documents that are now--perhaps forever--lost again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Traitor's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e is intimate and exhaustively researched, vividly conversational, and shot through with Agnes Spicer's irrepressible, fiery personality. It is a true labour of love as well as a triumph of blending personal biography with sweeping history.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eROXANA SPICER grew up in Netherhill, Saskatchewan, population 80. As a documentary filmmaker and former CBC investigative journalist, her award-winning work across Canada led to real change. She has pursued stories in remotest Ecuador, the Arabian Desert, and the North Sea; she has reported from a high-tech ocean dive ship, a nomadic Kyrgyz yurt, and made multiple trips to Russia during the \"wild west\" years following the fall of the Soviet Union. The most elusive interview subject over her forty-year career remained her own mother.
