Using new technology, recently discovered documents and sophisticated investigative techniques, an international team—led by an obsessed retired FBI agent—has finally solved the mystery that has haunted generations since World War II: Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why?

Over thirty million people have read The Diary of a Young Girl, the journal that teenaged Anne Frank kept during World War II. Anne, along with her family and four other people, lived in an attic in Amsterdam until the Nazis arrested them and sent them to a concentration camp. But although many works—journal articles, books, plays and novels—have been devoted to Anne’s story, no one has yet conclusively explained how these eight people managed to hide, undetected, for over two years, and who or what finally brought the Nazis to their door.

With painstaking care, retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of indefatigable investigators pored over tens of thousands of pages of documents—some never-before seen—and interviewed scores of descendants of people familiar with the Franks. Utilizing methods developed by the FBI, the cold case team painstakingly pieced together the months leading up to the infamous arrest and came to a shocking conclusion. 

The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation, is the riveting story of this mission. Rosemary Sullivan introduces us to the investigators, explains the behaviour of both the captives and their captors, and profiles a group of suspects. All the while, she vividly brings to life wartime Amsterdam, a place where no matter how wealthy, educated or careful you were, you never knew whom you could trust. 

“Rosemary Sullivan goes beyond the confines of Air-Bel to tell a fuller story of France during the tense years from 1933 to 1941. . . . A moving tale of great sacrifice in tumultuous times.” — Publishers Weekly

Paris 1940. Andre Breton, Max Ernst, Marc Chagall, Consuelo de Saint-Exupery, and scores of other cultural elite denounced as enemies of the conquering Third Reich, live in daily fear of arrest, deportation, and death. Their only salvation is the Villa Air-Bel, a chateau outside Marseille where a group of young people, financed by a private American relief organization, will go to extraordinary lengths to keep them alive. In Villa Air-Bel, Rosemary Sullivan sheds light on this suspenseful, dramatic, and intriguing story, introducing the brave men and women who use every means possible to stave off the Nazis and the Vichy officials, and goes inside the chateau’s walls to uncover the private worlds and the web of relationships its remarkable inhabitants developed.

There is no doubt Rosemary Sullivan is a biographer of extraordinary talent. Her first biography, By Heart: Elizabeth Smart: A Life

Stalin's Daughter is a work of narrative non-fiction on a grand scale, combining popular history and biography to tell the incredible story of a woman fated to live her life in the shadow of one of history's most monstrous dictators.

Svetlana Stalina, who died on November 22, 2011, at the age of eighty-five, was the only daughter and the last surviving child of Josef Stalin. Beyond Stalina's controversial defection to the US in a cloak-and-dagger escape via India in 1967, her journey from life as the beloved daughter of a fierce autocrat to death in small-town Wisconsin is an astonishing saga.

Publicly she was the young darling of her people; privately she was controlled by a tyrannical father who dictated her every move, even sentencing a man she loved to ten years' hard labour in Siberia. Svetlana burned her passport soon after her arrival in New York City and renounced both her father and the USSR. She married four times and had three children. Her last husband was William Wesley Peters, architect Frank Lloyd Wright's chief apprentice, with whom she lived at Taliesin West, Wright’s desert compound in Arizona. In 1984, she returned to the Soviet Union, this time renouncing the US, and then reappeared in America two years later, claiming she had been manipulated by her homeland. She spoke four languages and was politically shrewd, even warning in the late '90s of the consequences of the rise to power of former KGB officer Vladimir Putin. A woman shaped and torn apart by her father’s legacy, Svetlana Stalina spent her final years as a nomad, shuttling between England, France and the US.

In her research for Stalin's Daughter, Rosemary Sullivan had the full co-operation of Svetlana’s American daughter, Olga. Rosemary interviewed dozens of people who knew Svetlana, including family and friends in Moscow and the CIA agent who was in charge of moving her from India when she defected. She also drew on family letters and on KGB, CIA, FBI, NARA and British Foreign Office files.

It’s a book that women talk to their girlfriends about, and a book they’d like their lovers to read. It’s an “intellectually sexy experience” that lyrically, wittily and provocatively explores women’s history of romantic obsession through the telling and deconstruction of a passionate love affair.

«Sabíamos que no iba a ser fácil. El caso teníamás de setenta y cinco años. El delator y la mayoría delos testigos inmediatos habían muerto, probablemente.Y la cuestión no era tanto el quién, sino el porqué».

Utilizando nuevas tecnologías, documentos recién descubiertos y sofisticadas técnicas de investigación, un equipo internacional ha resuelto por fin el misterio que ha obsesionado a varias generaciones desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial: ¿quién traicionó a Ana Frank y a su familia? ¿Y por qué?

Más de treinta millones de personas han leído el diario que escribió la joven Ana Frank mientras vivía escondida en una buhardilla de Ámsterdam con su familia y otras cuatro personas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, hasta que los nazis los detuvieron y los enviaron a un campo de concentración. Pese a las muchas obras —reportajes periodísticos, ensayos, teatro y novelas— que han tratado la historia de Ana, hasta ahora nadie había conseguido explicar de forma concluyente cómo esas ocho personas lograron sobrevivir sin ser descubiertas durante más de dos años y quién o qué hizo que los nazis se presentaran finalmente en su puerta.

Con exquisita dedicación, el exagente del FBI Vincent Pankoke y un equipo de infatigables investigadores estudiaron decenas de miles de documentos, muchos de ellos inéditos, y entrevistaron a numerosos descendientes de personas que tuvieron relación directa con los Frank. Empleando métodos desarrollados por el FBI, el Equipo Caso Archivado reconstruyó minuciosamente los meses que precedieron a la nefasta detención y llegó a una conclusión impactante.

¿Quién traicionó a Ana Frank? La investigación que revela el secreto jamás contado es la historia cautivadora de esta misión. Rosemary Sullivan nos presenta a los investigadores, explica el comportamiento tanto de los cautivos como de sus captores y traza el perfil de un grupo de sospechosos. Al mismo tiempo, recrea con extraordinaria viveza el Ámsterdam de la guerra: un lugar en el que, por muy rico, culto o cuidadoso que fueras, nunca sabías en quién podías confiar.

International award-winning and best-selling author, Canadian cultural icon, feminist role model, "man-hater," wife, mother, private citizen and household name -- who is Margaret Atwood? Rosemary Sullivan, award-winning literary biographer, has penned The Red Shoes: Margaret Atwood Starting Out, the first portrait of Canada's most famous novelist, focusing on her childhood and formative years as a writer and the generation she grew up in.

When Margaret Atwood was a little girl in 1949, she saw a movie called The Red Shoes. It is the story of a beautiful young woman who becomes a famous ballerina, but commits suicide when she cannot satisfy one man, who wants her to devote her entire life to her art, and another who loves her, but subjugates her to become his muse and inspiration. She struggles to choose art, but the choice eventually destroys her.

Margaret Atwood remembers being devastated by this movie but unlike many young girls of her time, she escaped its underlying message. Always sustained by a strong sense of self, Atwood would achieve a meteoric literary career. Yet a nurturing sense of self-confidence is just one fascinating side of our most famous literary figure, as examined in Rosemary Sullivan's latest biography. The Red Shoes is not a simple biography but a portrait of a complex, intriguing woman and her generation.

The seventies in Canada was the decade of fierce nationalist debate, a period during which Canada's social imagination was creating a new tradition. Suddenly everyone, from Robertson Davies to Margaret Laurence was talking, and writing, about a Canadian cultural identity. Margaret Atwood was no exception.

For despite her tremendous success that transcends the literary community, catapulting into the realm of a "household name," Margaret Atwood has remained very much a private person with a public persona.

Rosemary Sullivan reveals the discrepancy between Atwood's cool, acerbic, public image and the down-to-earth, straight-dealing and generous woman who actually writes the books. Throughout, she weaves the issues of female creativity, authority and autonomy set against the backdrop of a generation of women coming of age during one of the most radically shifting times in contemporary history.

Con acceso a los archivos del KGB, la CIA, y de los distintos gobiernos soviéticos, Rosemary Sullivan recompone las piezas de la increíble vida de Svetlana Alliluyeva, la hija mayor de Stalin, en una magistral biografía.

Nacida durante los primeros años de la Unión Soviética, Svetlana creció dentro de los muros del Kremlin. Los altos cargos del Partido Comunista la protegieron del exterior ocultándole la hambruna y las purgas que arrasaban su país. Tras la muerte de su padre, y a medida que iba descubriendo la magnitud de la crueldad del régimen, Svetlana rompió su silencio y en 1967 conmocionó al mundo huyendo a Estados Unidos.

Profunda y ambiciosa, esta biografía pinta el insólito retrato de una mujer atormentada, utilizada como un peón en la Guerra Fría y, que a pesar de sus repetidos intentos por desvincularse del pasado, se vio siempre atrapada por la alargada sombra de su padre. Sullivan logra explorarun personaje complejo en un aún más complejo contexto sin nunca perder de vista la poderosa historia humana, y reabriendo a lo largo del proceso, las puertas cerradas de la brutal Historia del corto siglo XX que tanto nos fascina.
