    About this ebook

    This book summary and analysis was created for individuals who want to extract the essential contents and are too busy to go through the full version. This book is not intended to replace the original book. Instead, we highly encourage you to buy the full version.

    Pino Lella is an Italian teenage boy who spends his days doing what typical teenagers do: frolicking with friends and fawning over girls. As the destruction of war courses through the city of Milan, Pino loses his family home to the Allied bombs and is obliged to help Jews escape by traversing the Alps. Later on, he falls in love with a beautiful woman named Anna in whom he finds solace from the horrors of the war.

    Pino's safety is his parents' top priority, so between being assigned to the frontlines or joining the Nazis, Pino's parents choose the latter. He is forced by his parents to enlist in the German army. After being injured in combat, Pino is recruited as the interpreter and personal driver for General Hans Leyers, Hitler's left hand who was assigned to oversee the Nazi operations in Italy. The General is among the Third Reich's most enigmatic and formidable commanding officers.

    Pino's position provides him an opportunity to gather information from the German High Command and pass it onto the Allied forces. Working as a spy for the resistance, Pino endures the Nazis' oppression and their atrocities by the strength he finds in his love for Anna and in his hope for a future in which the war is over and they are finally free.

      BOOK OVERVIEW

      When the war efforts has finally reached Milan, Pino’s mother and his sister went away and sought shelter. Mimo, his brother, traveled to the Alps and found safety in Casa Alpina, a retreat managed by Father Re. His father tried to send him to the retreat as well, but to no avail. Pino ultimately conceded when the bombs demolished the family’s apartment and business.

      Father Re implemented rules in his retreat and obligated the boys under his care to continue their studies. Pino, on the other hand, had another requirement: every weekday, he had to take hours-long hikes and climb perilous mountain trails. He was warned against the highway bandits and Nazi soldiers that roamed the hilly roads. Pino would eventually use his knowledge of the mountains to guide Jews bound for Switzerland staying in Casa Alpina to hide from the Nazi troops. He faced death every time he would deliver the Jews through the steep cliffs of the Alps and its avalanches. Pino also trained his brother as well as other boys to lead the way through the underground railway system.

      During his time at Casa Alpina, Pino met a man who dreamed of becoming a renowned racecar driver. The young fellow taught him how to drive and maintain vehicles. Pino enjoyed his driving lessons greatly and loved traversing the mountains. However, his life took a turn when he was forced by his parents to join the German military. The Lellas were not actually Nazi supporters, but they wanted to spare Pino from being drafted and assigned to the Russian front.

      Pino suffered an injury during a battle, so he was asked to return to Milan instead where he was chosen to work for one General Leyers. The General was among the highest-ranking Nazi officers in Italy, and Pino became his driver and translator. Pino attended the General’s meetings with Benito Mussolini, Cardinal
