Very little if anything seems to have been written about the men who searched for and found prisoners of war that had been released when the armistice was signed (occasionally it would be a grounded pilot) and escorted them through the forward area in to Allied occupied territory. Without the cooperation of il Partito d'Azione and the willing assistance of the ribelli (rebels as the partisans were known), who often provided guides, they would not have been able to operate. The story which is based on the authors personal experience takes place in Abruzzo. It is written as a sister book to The Missing Years, and gives an insight to the risks ordinary people were prepared to take in the midst of almost daily atrocities.
