| Notes: | Also published with the title Love and War in the Apennines Newby, a British soldier, was captured by the Italians while on a pre-invasion raid in Sicily. He was in an Italian prison when the Italians quit the war, and he managed to avoid being rounded up when the Germans moved in. He met and fell in love with Wanda, a Slovakian girl, who helped him get away. He spent several months in the fall and winter of 1942 with Italian farmers who helped him as a way to get back at the Fascists. He was finally reported and recaptured. That's where the story ends except for a final chapter from after the war when he and Wanda, now his wife, returned to the farms and found many of the people who helped him. |
