Hitler and My Mother-in-Law is a memoir about truth, both familial and political, and follows my mother-in-law, the only female reporter to cover both WWII theaters. After the military awards her a million-dollar painting from Hitler’s study, she buys art from Matisse for UNICEF, sells war booty to the National Gallery, hustles naive art in Arizona and prevents art fraud in Hawaii. Threaded throughout the book are the often comical efforts of the Soviets to conceal Hitler's death, investigations by McCarthy, the art of invention, competing with the in-law, my own mother, organizations that malign the word “mother, and a lot of mother-in-law jokes.
