Dinner & A Book - Empress of the Nile

Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt is a strong and determined French woman who went where no other women went in the early 20th century. What does it take to dig deep into Egyptian tunnels in 100-degree heat to help reveal mysteries of the past 4,000 years and lead the international effort to save ancient Egyptian temples from the flood waters of the new Egyptian Aswan Dam? Grace Fortune Hopkins joins Gail Martin discuss courage against Nazi interrogators and back-stabbing colleagues in “Empress of the Niles” by Lynne Olson.
