Features: Reasons for Reading This Book: During World War II, the only topic of common interest between Allied and Axis soldiers was Greta Garbo's performing arts. Her performances were described as "beyond borders and beyond ideology." If she woke up too early in the morning, she would sit alone on the balcony, carefully concealing herself, staring blankly at the bustling flow of traffic on the streets of New York below.
Target Audience for This Book: Scholars or enthusiasts of the "Hollywood phenomenon," fans or detractors of Greta Garbo, researchers or enthusiasts of industrial civilization, professional women, or middle and high school students.
