DIETRICH THROUGH THE LENS

An illustrated essay by former head of photographs at the National Portrait Gallery, Terence Pepper OBE tells the stories behind the images, from childhood photographs of Dietrich through to her years in cabaret. The historical sweep and stylistic variety of the photographs throughout this book creates a rich visual tableau, shedding light on Dietrich's famously mysterious character, which combined the sultry cabaret singer, the fierce patriot, the lover, the mother, and the independent thinker.
