Publisher's Synopsis
By January 1944, Allies fighting the Germans in Italy have become bogged down at the Gustav Line. Caught between the Nazis and the Fascists, Partisan units throughout Italy struggle to save their country from tyranny.
The second book in a set, The Partisans: Liberation follows Michael and Gina Scaturo, their sons Paolo and Antonio, and numerous other brave rebels rising up in the name of their country.
The story takes you to the port city of La Spezia, where an underground organization is helping Jews escape to Palestine, and to Bracciano, where Dominic Barzini, along with US Army Ranger Bill Eckert, continues to fight the Nazis.
The tale also takes you to France with a team that includes Ranger Frank Polo, his new wife Nora, and Colonel Kurt Schmidt, the former head of the Nazi occupation of Rome. All the while, a dramatic plot involving stolen plans for a fission bomb revs up the suspense and intrigue.
As the war in Italy races toward its inevitable conclusion, you'll feel the anguish of families torn apart and the joy of hearts united amid the triumphs and defeats of a people fighting a complicated war within a war.
