Publisher's Summary

With a single daring leap from an Italian train carrying prisoners of war, John Miller jumped out of the war of soldiers and into the war as lived by Italian civilians - many of whom risked their lives to help him.

The year was 1943 and Captain Miller had been in captivity for over a year. Italian anti-fascists harboured and fed him, first in a remote mountain village, then in Rome itself. For months he posed as a deaf-mute and member of the Fascist Youth in order to dodge German patrols and the Italian secret police - until the Allied liberation of Rome brought GIs flooding onto the streets.

Emotional

A excellent book, well written. I could not stop listening.
Highly recommended.
It reminded me of my father relating his escape from a pow camp Sforzacosta camp 53 near Masarata in Italy.He and his brother escaped at about the same time as the author.
