520    Madame Claude, by renowned social historian William 
       Stadiem, is a magnificent audiobook about the brilliant, 
       complicated, and utterly amoral woman behind the most 
       glamorous and successful escort service in the world. In 
       post-WWII Paris, Madame Claude ran the most exclusive 
       finishing school in the world. Her alumnae married more 
       fortunes, titles and famous names than any of the Seven 
       Sisters. The names on her client list were epic-Kennedy, 
       Rothschild, Agnelli, Onassis, Niarchos, Brando, Sinatra, 
       McQueen, Picasso, Chagall, Qaddafi, the Shah, and that's 
       just for starters. By the 1950s, she was the richest and 
       most celebrated self-made woman in Europe, as much of a 
       legend as Coco Chanel. Born Fernande Grudet, a poor Jewish
       girl in the aristocratic chateau city of Angers, the 
       future Madame led a life of high adventure-resistance 
       fighter, concentration camp survivor, gun moll of the 
       Corsican Mafia and erstwhile streetwalker-before becoming 
       the ultimate broker between beauty and power. She 
       harnessed the emerging postwar technology of the telephone
       to create the concept of the call girl. But Madame Claude 
       wasn't just selling sex-she was the world's ultimate 
       matchmaker, the Dolly Levi of the Power Elite. She was 
       also one of the most controversial-and most wanted-women 
       in the world. Now, through his own conversations with the 
       woman herself and interviews with the great men and 
       remarkable women on whom she built her empire, social 
       historian and biographer William Stadiem pierces the veil 
       of Claude's secret, forbidden universe of pleasure and 
       privilege.
