And she also took advantage of the anti-semitism to throw her partner/backer for Chanel No. 5 under the bus and take total control. I could sort of accept her collaboration to save her relatives, which seems to be how it started, but she went way beyond that to profit by it and keep living the good life.

This book apparently illuminates what I've long disliked about Chanel. I don't mind her having been a kept mistress, but she was an active Nazi collaborator and espionage agent, and that I really do mind. No quantity of color pictures and gush about her creations can change that for me.
