Query: Speedy read....

I devoured this book in just 24 hours and enjoyed every page. Eric Newby was captured in Italy after an abortive SAS style raid and spent several years as a prisoner of war - ironically he found his life partner in a little village in the mountains where the brave Italian villagers sheltered him and many, many other allied troops. Not a story that I have heard much about before - and nor had the author, so, as he explains, he wrote this book. He seems to have written several more about his subsequent world-wanderings.I shall be buying and reading them too now - found another author to read and to enjoy.
