The Walk to Freedom: A Soldier’s Journey from Milan to Stigliano to Freedom 2nd Edition
No Customer Reviews
When duty summoned, Antonio answered, expecting to defend Italy. Drafted into World War II's Italian army, he instead found himself under Nazi command, ensnared in a conflict that ravaged his nation and his conscience. Amid deserts and despair, the death of his childhood friend Matteo--and a final plea to "Go home"--shattered his illusions, igniting a daring choice. In 1943, with Italy's surrender as his unshackled dawn, Antonio defied his post in Milan, embarking on a perilous 600-mile odyssey through a war-torn land to Stigliano. Driven by a promise to his childhood love, Maria, and a hunger for peace, he braved German hunts, Allied scrutiny, and starvation, guided by fleeting acts of grace--a stranger's bread, a priest's shelter. Each step was a fight to reclaim his soul and the life he'd vowed to build. Decades later, in Stigliano's embrace, his family gathers to mourn and marvel. Maria, clutching a faded photo of her uniformed love, unveils his trek--600 miles of courage, a legacy forged in resilience and hope. Based on a true story, The Walk to Freedom is a gripping testament to the human spirit, proving that even in war's darkest shadow, love and determination can blaze a trail home.
