Beneath A Scarlet Sky
Trade paperback edition in good condition. Some cover wear. Crease on front cover. Clean reading copy.
“To be young and in love. Isn’t it remarkable that something like that can happen in the middle of a war? It says something about the inherent goodness of life, despite all the evil we’ve seen.”
Based on the true story of a forgotten hero, Beneath A Scarlet Sky is the triumphant tale of one young man’s incredible courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest hours.
Pino Lella wants nothing to do with war or the Nazis. He’s a normal Italian teenager—obsessed with music, food, and girls—but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews to escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior.
In an attempt to protect him, Pino’s parents force him to enlist as a German soldier—a move they think will keep him out of combat. but after Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Hitler’s left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third Reich’s most mysterious and powerful commanders.
Now, with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino endures the horrors of war and the Nazi occupation by fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and for the life he dreams they will someday share.
