Join us in conversation with Sonia Purnell, author of Kingmaker: Pamela Harriman’s Astonishing Life of Power, Seduction, and Intrigue, which tells the spectacular story of Pamela Churchill Harriman—beloved daughter-in-law of the British prime minister, “secret weapon” during World War II, and influential activist in American politics. With a wealth of fresh research, interviews, and newly discovered sources, Purnell unveils for the first time the full story of how Harriman left an indelible mark on the world today.

Purnell will sign copies of her book following the presentation. Preorder your copy of Kingmaker from the Museum Store here: https://store.nationalww2museum.org/kingmaker-hc/
