Join us for a uniquely fascinating story of privilege and secrecy.
In this month's New York Review of Books, Russell Baker begins his review as follows: "Two of Bill Patten's three fathers were Alfred Duff Cooper and Joseph Alsop. What memoirist could ask for more? Duff and Joe, as they were known in the international set of their day, now seem like characters from an Evelyn Waugh novel about the batty doings of the very best people."
Not until he was 47 years old did Bill Patten learn the truth of his parentage. The surrounding story is truly the stuff of a bygone & aristocratic era. You'll be fascinated by this chronicle of the lives of an extraordinary group of people, a unique time in history, and the personal saga of the players.
