Iris Origo was one of the twentieth century's most intriguing women, a brilliantly perceptive historian and biographer whose works remain widely admired. During World War II she and her husband took considerable risks protecting children and sheltering partisans. Iris's diary from that time, War in Val d'Orcia, is now considered a modern classic.
