As one of the most enigmatic and fascinating women of our time, Madonna is the undisputed female icon of the modern age. She is widely admired for her independence, self-confidence, refusal to compromise and willingness to take a risk. While much of her life seems to be an open book, a closer look suggests that it is Madonna herself who controls what we read. In his new book Andrew Morton, the author of world-wide number one best-sellers on Diana, Princess of Wales and Monica Lewinsky, reveals the unknown Madonna. He has spoken to those in her inner circle, who have never been interviewed before, about her ambitions, lifestyle and relationships with family, friends and men. Their stories and insights give a fresh and revealing perspective on arguably the most famous woman on the planet.

"The great Arab singer Asmahan was the toast of Cairo song and cinema in the 1930s, as World War II approached. A Druze princess actually named Amal al-Atrash, she came from an important clan in the mountains of Syria, but broke free from her traditional family background, left her husband, and became a public performer, a role frowned upon for women of the time. She was also rumored to be an agent for the allied Forces during World War II.
Through the story of Asmahan and her musical career, the reader glimpses not only aspects of the cultural and political history of Egypt and Syria between the two world wars, but also the change in attitude in the Arab world toward women as public performers on stage."--BOOK JACKET.
